Story

Welcome to my JustGiving page.

I am raising money for Grief Encounter by doing a charity challenge trek to Machu Picchu in Peru (for 10 days) this October.

Anyone that knows me knows that my idea of back to nature & outdoor living generally consists of bunting, lavender tea lights and a bottle of wine . However being a spontaneous lunatic, curiosity got the better of me as I love a challenge.  The opportunity to do this trek to such an awe-inspiring destination whilst raising money for such a worth while cause is something I couldn't walk, run or lunge away from.

More importantly Grief Encounter is exceptional and is one of the UK's leading bereaved children's charities. Unfortunately it is an astonishing statistic that 1 in 29 children in the UK under 16 years old will suffer the death of a parent. Grief Encounter provide a free service of support without any government funding.They rely solely on the generosity of donations to be able to support these bereaved families. For more information on the vital service they offer please visit their website on www.griefencounter.org.uk

I always take my challenges very seriously, I have already started training and promise to keep you up to date with my progress over the coming months. I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my page and more over thank you on behalf of Grief Encounter for your support.

Many Thanks
