Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I climbed a large mountain for charity because I am:

a) Mental, b) Have something to prove, c) Want to help a good cause

Actually it is probably all three, so please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I'm raising sponsorship monies for the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) to build a brighter future for disadvantaged communities in developing countries primarily in South and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and theMiddle East. The Aga Khan Foundation supports social and economic development projects designed to benefit the poor without regard to race, gender, religion or political affiliation.

Proceeds will directly support communities with which the AKF is working in partnership. For more information on the work of AKF, please visit: www.akdn.org

I have had personal association with the charity for most of my life and you can be asured that your contributions will go undiluted towards effective, sustainable solutions for those most in need.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Aga Khan Foundation (United Kingdom) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Further still my employer Citigroup operates a matching scheme and will contribute an additional £500 if I can raise my target. So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
