Tom & Sharon's Challenge
Fundraising for Thames Valley Air Ambulance
Fundraising for Thames Valley Air Ambulance
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Tom and I are completing this challenging trek for a couple of reasons:
A walk in the Sahara - WOW, we both enjoy walking but this will really test our stamina and endurance and to experience a different part of the world - even if it is only a massive expanse of sand!
We have chosen to support the Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance as we believe that they do a wonderful job in difficult circumstances and they thoroughly deserve every bit of support that is given to them.
So please dig deep and donate now.
For those that are interested our Itinerary is below (in Nov 2013)
