Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have finally decided to do something for other people for a change and not just myself, and will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2012. My charity of choice is Depression Alliance. Depression is a very, very misunderstood illness, with 2.9 million suffers in the UK alone. In 2010 there were 140,000 suicide attempts relating to depression based on the fact that people felt they had no where to go, but most importantly no one to talk to! DA have also suffered in the government cuts so rely on volunteers to help run the charity, and obviously people raising money to fund the company. This is where you can all help, please, please, please dig deep into your pockets for the 1 in 5 people that suffer this terribly lonely illness. I have witnessed first hand how destructive, lonely and how much the illness can consume someone, but luckily it did not have the end result that so many others suffer.

I also have a facebook page that will run along side this page, so I am looking to spread this as far and wide as possible to get the word out. It is a terribly good cause, one that is very close to my heart, and I will not let down anyone that sponsor's me nor the people I am raising money for. I will get to the top of the world!!! 

So please dig deep and donate now.
