Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 26th January 2012 I'm setting off with my brother and 4 friends to wallk up Mount Kilimanjaro. We're all doing it for the challenge and we're paying our own way, but hoping that we can also do some good by raising money for a few charities special to us. Mine is the Sick Children's Trust, a charity which believes that having parents on hand during hospital treatment benefits a child's recovery and whose mission, therefore, is to provide high quality 'home from home' accommodation for families whose children are receiving hospital treatment for serious illness. The importance of the support the Sick Children's Trust provides is increasing as local children's units close and children have to travel long distances to get the specialist treatment they need.

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.

About the charity

The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that gives families with a seriously ill child in hospital a comfortable place to stay and a friendly ear to listen in one of our ten ‘Homes from Home’. By providing families with somewhere to stay near their child they have one less thing to worry about.
