Story

well just under 4 weeks to go till I probably do one of my maddest ideas yet - climbing Kilimanjaro - what was i thinking - help me get a bit more of my target by sponsoring me please

first 18 mile bike training ride - urghhh around the now famoud coniston loop

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for my trip up Kilimanjaro in aid of Alices Escapes - http://www.alices-escapes.co.uk/

Alice had a bucket list she wanted to do and she managed to do this bucket list - this is how you may have heard about Alice - http://alicepyne.blogspot.co.uk/ .  One of alices bucket list things to do was to go to her prom - she got to go to her prom in a beautiful purple dress (see profile pic)

She was a particularly inspirational young lady who's time ended far too early. Always thinking of other she was awarded the British Empire Medal and Pride of Britain Award to name a few. 

She helped get over 40,000 extra people to join the Bone Marrow Donor list and helped to get the age of donation lowered.

Alices legacy is help children and teenagers like herself to have a holiday without any costs in a beautiful part of the world - The Lake District - to give them and their families some time by themselves to do family things without any other distractions - just as Alice and her family had when they went to Devon.

Please take the time to give even a small amount to help Alices Escapes and the legacy that Alice created.

So please dig deep and donate now.
