Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Starting on March 29th, the inspiration for the trek came from my cousin Tom who had dreamed of completing this challenge before sadly passing away with Sudden Death Syndrome 3 days before his 40th birthday. I am undertaking this challenge in his memory and to raise funds for 2 charities and am hoping to raise equal amounts for both:1) The British Heart Foundation; and 2) Orchard Vale Trust ("OVT") (Registered Charity No.326940). OVT was set up in 1986 and provides tailored accommodation and support to adults with a broad range of learning difficulties. OVT is seeking funds to buy 4 defibrillators (one for each care home), help retrain staff to manage changing resident needs as they age and help maintain facilities.

I am deeply grateful for any donation you can make, whether large or small.

With very best wishes,

Ben
