Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my justgiving page.

I will start by telling you a bit about me, I am 29 and was trying to think of 'Things to do before I'm 30' (I already stopped smoking 6 months ago & started giving blood this year) & one other thing was to do something substantial for charity.

In the end, I decided I would like to Trek the Great wall of China in aid of British Heart Foundation, which I am doing from 11th October this year, and i will be there for 10 days. I'm going over with a group of people who i have never met, the trek will often be over uneven difficult grounds, with basic facilities to sleep in. Some days we are trekking for 9 hours. WOW i think i will have sore feet... We have already been advised that it wil be physically demanding, so i have been doing as much training as other commitments allow.

I chose this charity as my Dad had a heart attack a few years ago & further heart problems which could have been fatal & i felt that i would like to give something back.

Any spare pennies you would be able to give really would be appreciated. Thanks very much folks <3
