Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I am climbing Ben Nevis later this month - the highest mountain in the British Isles at 1,344 metres in peak midge season and after training hard in the gym all for a charity which is very close to my heart - Alalay. 

Annie Syrett (founder of the UK charity) and I met last week and discussed ways in which I can help the street children, which is a huge problem in Bolivia, and especially for funding the new medical centre with accommodation for overseas volunteers and education programmes.

I am aiming to climb/trek to the summit on Monday 14th June on the more difficult route, although this is weather dependent, with Will (my partner) and here's a bit about the charity so you can see why this is so important:

Friends of Alalay (Santa Cruz) rescues children from the streets of Santa Cruz, Bolivia and offers them a loving environment living together in family cabins. The children are educated, loved and encouraged in their future working lives. Please support Friends of Alalay (Santa Cruz) - a charity that finds, feeds, houses, educates and loves street kids in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Every penny collected goes directly to help the kids - there are no admin costs.

If you would like to donate to my challenge and the Bolivian street children please do so through the Just Giving website, every penny shall go towards the medical centre and of course food and education for the children so every little helps!

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. So please dig deep and donate now.

 

Thanks so much in advance I really appreciate it!
