Hey all you beautiful people!

Firstly, thank you for taking time to even read this page!!!

On April the 6th this year Sarah Groves was tragically murdered in Kashmir. The devastation that this news left behind is incomprehensible and indescribable.  Last year, Sarah took on a massive challenge and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and In august next year i will be doing the same in her honour!

As many of you will know, i am not a "health freak" and don't take the best of care of my body so this is going to prove to be a massive challenge for me! But Sarah believed you CAN achieve anything you put your mind to which has inspired me to take on this challenge!

Any donation no matter how big or small, will be so greatly appreciated and will help to make what seems impossible, possible!!

Sarah left such a huge footprint and has inspired so many people, i just hope i can make as big a difference to this crazy mad world we live in!

 Here is a link to a video that captures Sarah’s beauty and desire to make a change in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvJr3Pux-QQ

Thank you all in advance for your generosity, it is a truly amazing cause to donate to, you will be rewarded with updates on fundraising progress and photo/ journal entries to see how i get on!

I will be doing a few fundraising things along the way and hope you can get involved.....more details to follow!

Sarah's inspirations in life came from children, art, fitness and adventure and a Memorial Fund has been established in Guernsey to support these four things.  It has full Trust status and is administered by the Guernsey Community Foundation www.foundation.gg

 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).

 This Memorial Fund represents Sarah and her inspirational philosophy of life.

 Any donations are warmly welcomed, and thank you so much for your kindness and support! I will be paying a part of the travel and accomodation costs, and some of the money I fundraise will go towards the rest, but over 50% of money raised is purely for the Fund, which means that as a group we hope to raise, after all expenses, over £50,000!!! Which will be incredible for the Fund!
