Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  As you know, the last three years have been the most transformative journey of my life in so many ways.    As I celebrate a landmark birthday - the big 60 -- I want to help do something  transformative for people who are blind or partially sighted.   I've challenged myself to do this hike across Iceland.   Just as I have emerged stronger from the trials I have faced, so too can people who are blind go on to live full and rewarding lives after vision loss.  The money I raise with this challenge will make a life changing difference to blind people.....and I need your support please.  In all my years as a fundraiser, this is the first time I'm putting myself on the line in this manner.....and your support is essential.  It won't happen without your generous support. 

From my end, the training has started already.  You know I'm good with  the weight training but you probably also know I'm rubbish with the cardio  and in fact any dynamic exercise (HATE it!!).  Of course a rigorous trek will require some serious cardio, and I'm on it. (Yuck).  I've  also started to acquire the right trekking gear.

Please give till it hurts.....I'm definitely going to give it till it hurts too!  Many many thanks

PS:  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.

Warmest warmest thanks   everybody!  Love you all.   Wanda
