Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October 2015 I will be taking on an enormous personal challenge when I travel to Peru and trek for 10 days to the Ancient lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu high up in the Peruvian Andes.

There is a minimum amount of sponsorship I need to achieve to get me there though, so I will be completing a series of 6 endurance challenges between now and August to raise the sponsorship required.

I plan to complete the following:

Silverstone Half Marathon (March)

Great Birmingham 10k (May)

Bridgnorth 22 Mile Walk (May)

Tough Mudder (May)

Black Country 10k (July)

Tough Mudder 2 (September)

My fundraising will culminate in the 10 day trek in Peru in October, but believe me this is no holiday.. there is a trek to 4000m, so altitude sickness could be an issue plus there will be no luxury hotels.. just a tent for cover, not something I am used too!

I have a huge target to achieve and am also planning other events to help raise the money, but any donations large or small will be greatfully recieved.

I am doing this because I have seen first hand the great work Macmillan do and I have seen the devasting effects cancer can have on close family members. I want to help support Macmillan so they can go on to deliver more life changing work

It's now even easier to donate! Text BTMP50 £5 to 70070 to sponsor me £5 Text BTMP50 £10 to 70070 to sponsor me £10
