Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On October 8th 2015 I'll be setting off, as part of the Willow Foundation Team, to conquer the 3 highest peaks in the United Kingdom: Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.

Having worked with Willow in 2014 I was thrilled when David White, the charity's Chief Executive, invited me to join him and his team on this exciting and rewarding challenge. 

Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. These Special Days enable them and their families to reconnect and refocus on each other while enjoying an activity of their choosing. A day for them, a day about them and a day that will create memories they will all treasure forever. 

For some their Special Day is the opportunity to return some normality to their lives. For others it is the last chance to fulfil a dream. But for all, at what is the most difficult of times, a Special Day is a life-affirming experience that can lift spirits, reunify families and be a source of strength when it’s needed most. 

Since 1999 Willow has fulfilled more than 11,000 Special Days for young adults living with life-threatening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and Huntington’s disease.

Founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper and TV presenter, Bob Wilson and his wife Megs, Willow is a lasting memorial to their daughter, Anna, who died of cancer aged 31. Anna’s love of life and the enriching experiences of her own Special Days were the charity’s inspiration.

So please pledge a pound for peak performance and help provide special days for seriously ill young adults and their families.

We all have our mountains to climb!
