David Tait's 2015, Nspcc K2 Expedition,
Fundraising for the NSPCC
Story
Hello once again,
I have been lucky enough to successfully summit Mount Everest 5 times over the last decade in an effort to raise much needed funds for the Nspcc's on-going battle against Child Sexual Abuse.
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children is a UK based charity charged with this vital work - I am proud to have been a Trustee and can personally vouch for the enormous impact this charity has on the lives of so many physically and emotionally violated children.
On the 13th June 2015 I once again leave the comforts of home, this time to attempt a summit of K2 , “The Killer Mountain”.
As I have done repeatedly with Everest, I intend to employ this vast, majestic mountain as a vehicle with which to raise substantial, much needed funds for horrifically abused children.
This and all my previous climbs have been self-funded - every single penny donated goes directly to the Nspcc and the children who desperately need it.
My previous expedition dispatches from Kathmandu, Base Camp and the higher reaches of Mt Everest have been a determined effort to both entertain and also open a window to a parallel universe that I truly love. No one returns from such places the same person who left.
My forthcoming K2 expedition will open a new window – instead of Kathmandu and Nepal, read Islamabad, the Hindu Kush, Karakorum and the sheer wild west of remotest Northern Pakistan.
I ask that once again you join with me in my campaign and dig as deep as possible in the knowledge that the NSPCC will put any donation made, to very good use.
My site provides direct access to the expedition – I hope you "save to your favorites" and follow along as the dispatches arrive – simply click “Alerts”, add your e-mail address, and you will be notified of any new postings.
If, for some reason the use of JustGiving doesn't appeal, please send huge cheques to
Nspcc

Your collective generosity over the years has been life affirming and has no doubt changed many lives – the lives of violated children.
I ask for your support and generosity once more – I was one such child.
