My old mate Dan is trekking the Inca trail raising money for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). He's doing this at the end of May...
RMHC provides homes away from home for families with children in hospital. For more info visit www.rhmc.org.uk. The money raised will go towards their 5 year goal of doubling the number of rooms provided for families with children in hospital around the UK.
While a trip to Peru might sound more like an enviable holiday than a sponsored event, he'll be walking nearly 70km in 5 days at altitudes of over 4000m, Dan is paying 100% of the trip and equipment fees so everything he raises will go to the charity - so please dig deep and sponsor him online.
Donating through the web is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor him: RMHC will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor us now! See: http://www.justgiving.com/clareanddaninca
Many thanks for supporting Dan (the nut case)...
Hopefully we'll get some pictures of really severe blisters afterwards ;)
