Story

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">OK, OK, I'm not best known for being in&nbsp;peak physical condition and the altitude will kill me - but sometimes you just have to step up and lead by example.</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>On the 10th of May 2012 I shall be walking the Inca Trail in Peru to raise money for my beloved Mencap.</strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">It's not too late to join me people!&nbsp; But any donation you can make however small would be most welcome.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">I'm not asking you to pay for a holiday - quit the contrary as&nbsp;I will be making my own contribution to pay for the costs of the trip myself.&nbsp; Every penny that is donated will be going to help children, young peope and adults with a learning disability to have the life they deserve, made with their own choices, in a way that they can understand and choose for themselves.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #cc99ff;">We take so much for granted and people with a learning disability should have the rights, the freedom and the knowledge to do exactly the same.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #33cccc;">Dig deep please and help us reach the target.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">If anyone has a spare personal trainer and a stop smoking advisor on hand I'd appreciate that too!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
