Story

Many thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I must be raving mad but I'm at it again! After a truly amazing Monsterski 2008 in the US in which we collectively raised over £180,000 for the MS Trust, and I had some of the best and most challenging skiing of my life, I'm off to complete another Monsterski. For this year coming we've tweaked the challenge to make it a little more accessible to busy people and, in January 2009, myself and other supporters of the MS Trust will travel to Engelberg in Switzerland to the Titlis Glacier and ski a marathon a day for 3 days. This challenge will be every bit as demanding as its 6-day big brother challenge and will require the determination that was so necessary in Colorado in January 2008 (and in Canada in 2007) to complete it. This year has been a year of change for me. Medically discharged from the Royal Air Force due to my having MS, I am determined that I do as much as I possibly can to help others with the condition; raising funds for MS and in particular the MS Trust is the best way I know how to do this. Funding will one day crack the nut that is MS - it is only a matter of time before the cause and hopefully a cure are discovered. But it is also a matter of funding too. If you do feel you can support me and the MS Trust in our quest please do donate something, no matter how small. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MS Trust gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Quick update now that Monsterski 2009 is completed. Successful trip for all; hard work on the first day in poor weather, good second day and beautiful third and final day in powder snow and blue skies. Fantastic amount of money raised by all for the MS Trust. Particular congratulations to all those with MS who took part in Monsterski 2009.
