Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will know, my family has not had a good time of it over the last few years. My sister is now thankfully two years clear of bowel cancer, but my mum is currently battling ovarian cancer, and my uncle sadly passed away last year from pancreatic cancer. 

I wanted to do something positive to help, and the Macmillan China Hiking Challenge felt like the right thing to do. It is an 11-day trek from 29 Sept - 9 Oct 2012, along the Great Wall of China, walking for around 7 hours each day.

I'll be funding the cost of the flight and accommodation myself (just over £1000), so any sponsorship money you give won't be paying for my 'holiday'! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
