We provide pilgrimage holidays to Lourdes to change the lives of children and adults

Story

I'm donating my hair to the "Little Princess Trust" who make wigs for children who have suffered hair loss through cancer. I believe it is such a worthwhile cause as for the children, it gives them an added sense of security whilst battling with cancer. 

I'm asking you to sponsor me to do this, as the money that I raise in doing this will go to HCPT group 534, "Jet Set One". 

I first travelled to Lourdes when I was 16, and at 20, I've been on 5 pilgrimages with HCPT - The Pilgrimage Trust.

HCPT - The Pilgrimage Trust is a charity which offers a holiday to children and adults with disabilities. Everyone is welcome to join in, whatever their age or ability. Our trip is an action packed week filled with fun and laughter - and can also provide a well earned week of respite for carers back home! 

Our pilgrims may have a physical or mental disability or have additional social or emotional needs. All are supported by volunteer helpers who provide one to one care and friendship to them throughout the week in Lourdes as well as promoting social engagement back in the UK.

By sponsoring me, you are helping not one, but two charities. The sponsorship will enable me to travel to Lourdes in 2013 and help care for the adults with disabilities within our group
