Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After some very challenging years, and the loss of a few important women in my life, I am endeavoring to help the other women of the world. In addition to the loss of my Mom, Myra Williamson, I lost my dear friend Bonnie Cotier who had been an inspiration to me throughout my career, though we didn't meet until after we both moved to the UK.

By participating in the CARE Egypt Challenge supporting women's projects in Egypt I hope to bring awareness to my friends and hope to inspire you to give. The challenge is to climb mountain Sinai, further details at http://www.carechallenge.org.uk/charity-challenges/mountain-challenges/care-egypt-challenge 

I believe that by helping women you help families, cultures and can make a very positive impact on the future. 

• Funds raised go to CARE, we pay our own expenses.

• £1 = approximately $1.55 USD

About CARE:

How your support is making a difference 

CARE International is one of the world’s top three aid agencies, fighting poverty and injustice in over 87 countries around the world and helping vulnerable people each year to find routes out of poverty.   We deliver long term programs to fight poverty, and are always among the first to respond to emergencies.  CARE has worked in Egypt for more than fifty years.  When we first started, we focused exclusively on providing food to starving people.  Today our initiatives focus on women’s rights, and building the skills and strengths of people and local institutions to solve their own problems.  

 

The funds that you raise will make a real difference to the lives of some of the world’s poorest people, and without supporters like you, we simply would not be able to continue our work – thank you very much.

CARE Egypt Challenge

The Challenge
The CARE Egypt challenge will take place around St Catherine’s, situated in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula. On this challenge you will be led by Bedouin guides to tackle three mountains over three days.

This includes Mt Catherine, the highest mountain in Egypt, where at the summit you will be rewarded with stunning views of the whole of the Sinai. The area is sacred to three world religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
