Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm attempting to trek / climb up Mt Kinabalu 4095.2M over half term. This is the highest I have ever walked and will take two days. Although the distance itself isn't that far, the incredibly steep incline and inhospitable terrain will challenge me enormously and test my knees to their limits. I'm definitely not a rope climber, and I am worried about having to pull myself up by rope on the upper parts and am nervous of altitude sickness, which was really unpleasant the last time I had it. Fingers crossed this will all be ok and I will make it up and down safely.

I would so appreciate any donation you feel able to make in order to raise funds to support young people in Oxfordshire through coaching and mentoring with The Iuventas Foundation. I spend most of my week talking to young people about resilience, facing their fears and overcoming them, persevering and reaching their goals. I'm going to actually walk the walk so I can show that I'm not just full of chat. A huge thank you in advance and wish me luck!
