Story

This year Im taking part in two challenges to raise money for the Rock UK bursary fund. This bursary fund to supports disadvantaged young people across the . Our aim for any young people staying at our centres is to develop them physically and emotionally and help them to understand more about their own capabilities.

Having successfully completed my first challenge, the time has come for my second challenge! Next Sunday I will be climbing   in the highest peak in , standing 4167 metres above sea level!! We will walk for 8 hours a day for 5 days and camp overnight. We will be hiking through snow capped mountains and desert valleys.

My first challenge was to sail over 50 nautical miles around the Isle of Wight in arguably the biggest race of the year along with 1,700 other boats, in my boat, a 24ft yacht called SeaQuill. This was the first time I raced my boat, and it went surprisingly well, finishing about 680th overall!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them 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 the charity.

I am providing the funding to take part in both these challenges, so that all the money raised will go directly into the bursary fund so as many young people as possible can benefit from the money we raise!

So please help us to pass this oppertunity to develop and grow on to the young people who need it the most, and donate to what I believe is this very worthy cause!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page!! :)
