Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having done the Moonwalk and Brighton Bike Ride in aid of charity, when I skied off the top of a 10,000ft mountain a few years ago I thought I've done it all.  But no - despite my advancing years I have decided to join some students and staff at the Grammar school where I work, on a Himalayan Trek to the Home of the Dalai Lama for BREAKTHROUGH BREAST CANCER. Whilst I won't be climbing Everest, after a period of acclimatisation we will be trekking for about 85km over 5 days and will cross  passes up to 2,700m.  The trip will end with a few days at a school undertaking a worthwhile project.  

 I feel incredibly fortunate to have escaped any serious illness - so far, but I know of too many women who have had to undergo treatment for breast cancer.  For some it has been successful but for others the treatments available have been to no avail.  I want to do my bit to stop 1,000 women a month dying from breast cancer.  So, although I hope the trek will be personally enjoyable  and challenging in itself  I really want Breakthrough Breast Cancer to benefit from my experience. I  would be incredibly grateful if you would sponsor me.  We have already raised over £25,000 from individual and joint fundraising events but I am hoping to raise at least another £1,000 from individual sponsorship and really hope you can help.
