Story

After completing our latest challenge cycling across Vietnam and Cambodia we are embarking on our next challenge which is to climb mountains and raft along rivers in Costa Rica in Central America.

We will be raising as much sponsorship as possible for the NSPCC and we'll achieve this by putting on events and pushing ourselves mentally and physically to ensure we spread the word of the NSPCCs work as much as possible.

To date, Andy and I have raised around £60,000 for the NSPCC through the various challenges we have taken part in since 2011. We want to continue to raise money for the NSPCC by taking part in UK and Overseas Challenges for as long as we are capable.

Every £4 we receive in sponsorship could pay towards answering a child's call to Childline. Every £1,600 we raise could pay to train a volunteer Childline Counsellor to take calls, emails and texts from children and young people who often have nowhere else to turn.

We have been very blessed to receive support from many generous people who all appreciate just how vital the NSPCCs work is.

Thank you in advance for anything you can spare, no matter how large or small.
