My beautiful sister Sarah Groves was tragically murdered in Kashmir in April. She was everything anyone could wish to aspire to be, and she was the epitome of all things good and kind.

Last year, Sarah trekked Kilimanjaro for a charity called Childreach. She raised over £3000, and achieved something most of us dream about. She was passionate about every aspect of life, but particularly Children, Art, Fitness and Adventure. She achieved more in her 24 years on this earth than most people would hope to achieve in their lifetime. 

Next August, a group of 35 of Sarah's closest friends and relatives will be undertaking this trek in Sarahs footsteps, and collectively we are hoping to raise in excess of £50000.

Sarah was an inspiration to almost everyone she came into contact with, and her philosophy on life will continue to live on through The Sarah Groves Foundation.

The Sarah Groves Foundation has been established in Guernsey to support children, art, fitness and adventure, and it has full Trust status.

Funds allocated to Children will provide facilities, experiences and opportunities to young persons under the age of 16 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or from an organisational perspective.  In many cases participants will come from deprived backgrounds both locally and overseas. Funds allocated to Art will provide educational experiences, opportunities and equipment to young persons under the age of 21 that would otherwise be out of their reach financially or organisationally. 20% of funds available within this category go towards an art bursary at Sarah’s school in Ascot where she spent 7 very happy years and where they still have very fond memories of her. Income will be generated by Adventure and Fitness (for example, people running marathons or going on expeditions).

The full cost of Travel and Accommodation will be borne by myself, with all donations going directly to the Sarah Groves Foundation. Your kindness and support is greatly appreciated, and all donations will be gratefully received and are warmly welcomed.

Here is a link to a video that captures Sarah’s beauty and desire to make a change in the world. It was created by Sarah's closest friend, Fabiana Harrington: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvJr3Pux-QQ
