Hi, Mark & I are climbing to Everest Basecamp in April!  We have paid for our own holiday and dont expect any donations to pay for our pleasures!  I am not sure what pleasures there will be walking for weeks on end, sleeping in freezing temperatures and possibly suffering altitude sickness!  There is also the problems of not washing and changing clothes often - will my hair self clean after a while?

However Mark assures me it will be good.

Like I said, we have paid for our trip ourselves but we are going with a charity who have built schools in remote poor areas of Nepal and  who are currently building a community hospital.  To reach the hospital we have to travel by transport for 4 hours and trek for 2 hours.We will spend two days there working on this project at the end of our trip.  To raise a bit of money for them would be wonderful so if you could make a small donation we would be very grateful.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
