Hi, thanks for visiting my page.... Here is what I am up to....

24th March 2012 ! 

I am flying to Beijing!

Myself and three friends (Melissa, Michelle and Annette)  are going to take part in a 5 day trek along the Great Wall of China!  

We will walk approximately 12 km a day - not too far in distance, but the terrain and footing is hard - climbing and descending - and will include renovated and unrenovated part of The Wall, which forms the border between China and Mongola and was China's first line of defence in the days of Imperial China! 

This idea came about only a couple of months ago when I saw a charity inviting people to take part, and I thought - wow what an amazing place to go, and to combine this adventure with raising funds for charity seemed a fantastic opportunity!   

At the time a close friend was very courageously fighting bowel cancer, and tragically has since lost her brave battle - and so the charity I am trying to raise money for is Cancer Research. 

I had no idea how these charity challenges worked - but I pay for the trip completely (which includes a donation to my chosen charity) and so 100% of any sponsorship money that I raise goes directly to my chosen charity. 

I would be delighted if anybody would like to make a donation - I would love to raise as much as I can for such a worthy cause which is saving many peoples lives.

Thankyou!
