Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland fund research into all aspects of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and the social impact of chest heart and stroke illness. They provide care and support throughout Scotland for people affected by these conditions, as well as their families and other carers. They also offer advice in the form of factsheets, DVDs, an advice line etc, a community support network, a welfare grant program, and much more. You can access their web page at http://www.chss.org.uk/ for more info.

To maintain and expand their vital work in research and community services, they rely almost entirely on the continuing generosity of the Scottish public, business and community organisations.

This event is only 4 weeks off now, and it's a big thing for me to be doing this, when I'm really not great with heights, but I'm sure you will agree it will be well worth gritting my teeth & battling through a dose of wobbly legs & butterfly tummy to raise money for such a fantastic cause.

So please, please consider making a donation/sponsorship - as much or as little as you are able, it all counts!

Donating through this JustGiving page 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.

However, if you would prefer to donate in cash, this is perfectly fine too, and no amount too small. Send me a quick facebook message, email, text, or just hand me your donation when next you see me.

Thank you all for taking the time to read, and in advance for any donations, words of support and encouragement, and prayers for my safety!!! (and sanity, although I think that's a lost cause teehee)
