For personal reasons my heart is really in this appeal to you. I have already paid all the expenses and fees for the trek, so whatever you donate will go straight to SurvivorsUK. I'll be walking 67km over 5 days, up to 8 hours a day (or as long as it takes!) in the world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas. Day time temperatures  can reach 35C, but we will have 4 cold nights in a tent, at heights between 2,000 and 3,500 metres above sea level. Please support my effort and give generously! 

Men who have suffered sexual abuse as children or adults need different support from that required by women. SurvivorsUK offers specialist counselling and support phone lines to help them turn their lives around. It can be very difficult for a man to realise and face the extent of the damage done to his psyche and personality, which can delay his recovery. It can be difficult also for someone outside this experience to imagine the torment a male rape-survivor may go though on a daily basis. This charity needs masses of support to reach and help survivors of a terrifying experience. As with women rape survivors years ago, many men never tell what has happened to them so never get help.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. JustGiving will never sell your details on or send unwanted emails. 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for SurvivorsUK.
