Story

 

As you may already know, not too long ago I had a crazy idea! I decided that I really wanted to take part in a trek across China in order to raise funds for The Children’s Hospital Charity in Sheffield. I then persuaded 21 other mad fools to join me!

The Trek follows the Great Wall of China through woodland and terraced farmland, along the contours of beautiful hills and mountains in remote areas of Beijing. Our group will be on the road for 7 days from the 17th to 23rd September. 
 
Walking the Great Wall of China is something that I have always wanted to do. Since having my 3rd child, the gorgeous Jemima, last May I felt this would be an amazing personal challenge whilst also raising money for a very worthy cause close to my heart.
 
I would love you to sponsor me on this amazing adventure.
 
Sheffield Children’s Hospital constantly needs funding to maintain its reputation as an outstanding centre for the prevention and cure of childhood illnesses. Your donations will help to buy specialist medical equipment, fund crucial research into childhood illness and provide essential improvements to the hospital benefitting patients and families alike. I used to work at the hospital and have seen, first hand, the incredible work undertaken by every single member of staff and the difference that this work can make to a child’s life.
 
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure; they’ll never sell your details on or bombard you with unwanted junk mail. Your donations are sent directly to the charity and Gift Aid is reclaimed on every penny donated by a UK taxpayer, making this the most efficient way to donate.
 
With your support, we can help to build foundations that will help many generations of children to come. 
 
Please dig deep and donate now. 
 
Together we can make a difference.
 
Thank you,
Nichola Vaughan
