Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

In March 2008 I will be part of a team undertaking the challenge of crossing Costa Rica in Central America over a period of 7 days. Using only my mountain bike, small kayak, river raft and my feet! I'll cycle a total of 156km, hike 26km, raft 30km and sea kayak 35km through one of the most ecologically and climatically diverse terrains in the world. The course taken will lead me through remote mountain ranges, crocodile-infested rivers and thick jungle, which is home to many nasty little critters and also spiders, snakes, scorpions and frogs.

Most importantly, the money raised will help change young lives in the UK. These young people have often struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law. Prince's Trust provides practical and financial support to help develop their confidence and motivation and help get their lives back on track.

In last 30 years, The Prince Trust has helped over half a million young people and continues to support 100 more every day.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Prince's Trust 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.

Please dig deep and sponsor me now!

Help me help young people - The future of UK.

Thank you once again for your support.
