Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Thank you very much for taking the time to visit my page. I, along with three friends, have decided to raise money and awareness for a charity that is not as well known or heard of as most other charities and hopefully by doing this, will make more people aware and will encourage people to be kind enough to donate money towards this charity.

The charity is called The “A-T Society” which is for a condition called “Ataxia telangiectasia” (A-T). It is a rare, neurodegenerative and progressive condition which starts in early childhood causing severe disability and premature death.

Myself and three others – Nicky Edge, Jackie Edge, and Beccy Harrison have decided to do a sponsored walk to raise money for this charity  The walk we have decided to do in July 2011 is 10K/6.5 miles, estimated to be 3-4 hours, begins at Macclesfield Forest and is described as challenging and steep in some parts (oh dear!)

There is a girl in my school who has unfortunately been diagnosed with this condition and to make people more aware of this charity and to provide funding for them to continue with their research, would be a dream come true for the little girl and her family.

Please click on the below link to learn more about the condition and the charity:

Raising money for this charity can provide numerous things – Important research (if we are to rid the world of the effects of A-T, the answer is likely to come from research) and equipment for people with this condition such as wheelchairs, car lifts, ramps etc.

Please help raise more awareness and funding by being kind enough to dig deep into your pockets and sponsor us for this walk.   No matter how small or large the amount is, every single bit helps, pennies turn into pounds...

Thank you very much :-)
