Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am a nurse in my mid fifty's and have been given a fantastic opportunity to take some time out of work to do some voluntary work and fundraising. I am walking the Cleveland Way,  which is a beautiful area or North Yorkshire covering the Yorkshire Moors and the Coast from Helmsley to Filey.  The total length of the walk is 110 miles.

My aim is to do this from the 2nd September to the 14th September in 2008.  Age Concern is a Charity which is dedicated to improving the lives of older people.  Their mission and principles include the following statements:

• Ageism is unacceptable: we are against all forms of unfair discrimination, and challenge unfair treatment on grounds of age
• All people have the right to make decisions about their lives: we help older people to discover and exercise these rights
• People less able to help themselves should be offered support: we seek to support older people to live their lives with dignity
• Diversity is valued in all that we do: we recognise the diversity of older people and their different needs, choices, cultures and values
• It is only through working together that we can use our local, regional and national presence to the greatest effect.

Supporting causes which promote dignity for older people is just about one of the best things we can do.  Please support me to achieve a life long goal of doing this walk but also more importantly support some fantastic people to improve the lives and dignity of older people.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Age Concern London gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Many many thanks    Carol xxx
