Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For anyone that knows me, you’re probably thinking it’s more likely the funds raised will end up paying for an Air rescue when I realise half way up Snowdon that it was  out of my league….however, I along with a few more optimistic members of Kuoni…. accepted Derek Jones’ CEO  challenge for his team to climb Snowdon on the 2nd October to raise funds for our charity partner Mind and despite my serious lack of mountain climbing ability and limited exercise routine, I will do it, even if it means I’m still walking back into the middle of the following week!!  

We set up a partnership with Mind back in 2019 with enthusiasm and energy that we could promote awareness of mental health and raise money at the same time. We could never have imagined how important this charity was about to be…. In March 2020, everyone of us faced our own personal battle with being plunged into a ‘new’ normal. 

Despite such adversities, Kuoni has continued to support and raise awareness for this incredible charity and we are proud to have the chance to raise funds with this exciting challenge. 

If you haven’t already, visit the Mind website https://www.mind.org.uk and see for yourself how Mental Health issues can impact any one of us at any time in our lives. Its silent and often muted from observation, so it’s important to recognise the signs should you or anyone you know need support  and know where to find it if needed. Don’t do it alone….

So I’m going to do this, it’s going to hurt, I’m going to be tired and I’m certain I’ll wish at least 20 times (in the first hour alone) that I was back home drinking a coffee and watching a movie but it’s the least I can do to try and raise what I can for a charity that holds much personal meaning. And for those that know me, you’ll know this isn’t going to be easy!!!! 

I’d be hugely grateful, as will Mind, if you can spare, donate or sacrifice a few pennies or pounds for this cause and I promise I’ll send a picture of me at the summit, red faced and tired to ensure you can laugh at my misfortune that I still have to make it back down….
