Story

Thank You for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

Everyone has been affected by or knows someone that has been affected by cancer the 'Big C'. I am joining a 55 strong team to help raise money for Velindre Cancer Centre by Trekking Mount Kilimanjaro in South Africa from the 10-19th September 2010.....!! 

CHALLENGE 1 - HI-HEELS - For those of you that know me well, you may find it hard to believe that I will be putting my hi-heels and bikini clad lifestyle in Grand Cayman to bed in exchange for a pair of sturdy walking boots and winter woolies for this trek... This in itself will be a challenge...!! You never know though, my hi-heels may make a guest appearence at the top... Not sure about the bikini though...!!

CHALLENGE 219,340ft - As I prepare to train for the trek up the worlds tallest freestanding volcano 'Mt Kilimanjaro' whilst raising money for what I believe to be one of the most worthwhile causes today, I am met with next biggest challenge... Living for 3yrs on an island in the caribbean whose highest point is approx 15ft above sea level this is going to be a massive physical and mental challenge, one I will embrace wholeheartedly, beginning today - 12months to the day of our teams journey to raise money for Velindre Cancer Centre.

PLEASE DIG DEEP BUT REMEMBER NO MATTER HOW BIG OR HOW SMALL THE AMOUNT, EVERY DONATION IS A STEP CLOSER TO HELPING ME REACH MY TARGET..... SO I ASK YOU ALL TO PLEASE HELP ME REACH MY TARGET... COME ON, DONATE NOW AND LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE... THANK YOU. LOUISE xxx
