Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm on a mission to raise a grand total of £100,000 for the RAF Benevolent Fund to say thank you to the whole Royal Air Force family for all of the support and amazing opportunities they have given me since my Mum died.

In September I will be joining the RAF Air Cadets as part of my journey to be an RAF pilot and the following month I will take on a ten day trek in Africa to climb Kilimanjaro, the world's highest free standing mountain, and I hope to reach the summit on my 13th Birthday.

With temperatures expected to be as low as -20, high winds, trekking to 5895 meters, sleeping in a tent and no washing facilities this will be my biggest and toughest challenge yet.

All I ask is you help me reach my £100,000 target by donating any amount you can. If you can't donate please share this page across your social media platforms so your family and friends might donate.
