Most of you will know who I am I'm guessing .. but for those of you who don't here's a little bit about me and why I'm doing this ..

Sometimes.. you say 'yes' to crazy suggestions (well I do!!) .. this week I did just this... when Alex (my Goddaughter) was debating on Facebook whether or not to do this trip - I volunteered to go with her!!!

Within a very short time I was accepted and now need your support to help me to raise the funds for these three wonderful charities by July 2013

We are doing the trip in memory of Trudy  - she was my best friend, Alex's Mum and lived life to the full and made the most of every moment.. she was fun, determened and extremely brave...and I miss her 'joie de vivre'... so Alex and I are doing this together - with Trudy in our hearts..

An experience of a lifetime ... and a tremendous experience... to be treasured forever..

So now ... just need to get fit and collect enough donations.. thanks for your help.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
