I have now hit my £6,000 target!!!!

Maths bit: Current total at top + (currently) £440.62 Gift Aid at the bottom (Justgiving doesn't automatically include it in the total) + the £51.28 that got donated to my original trekking page = Over £6,000!!!

Thank you all so much, your generosity and willingness to contribute has moved me and inspired me for the last 6 months and through the tough section of the Great Wall. You are what makes a difference and I thank you.

Greetings, thanks for visiting my fundraising page, if you’re a UK taxpayer, by donating on this secure website, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Muscular dystrophy is a devastating, incurable and life-limiting condition that causes muscles to waste away, making children progressively weaker and preventing them from performing simple tasks that we take for granted, such as turning the pages of a book or brushing their hair.

Since 1988, Tesco has chosen a different charity every year to be the focus for staff fundraising.  In that time, Tesco staff have helped to raise over £33m for various charity partners including Marie Curie Cancer Care, British Red Cross, Whizz-Kidz and Age Concern.  Our target this year is to raise a total of £3m for Muscular Dystrophy.  The Tesco Charity Trust then adds 20% to money raised by staff.

My challenge to help towards this target, is to trek across sections of the Great Wall of China covering 18 kilometers a day over a 5 day period, through rough terraine, over old unrenovated parts of the wall and camping at night! We are flying out to China on Sunday the 28th March returning Monday (Bank Holiday) 5th April 2010.

Every pound, every penny will make a difference and I am out to make an outrageous difference for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. Join me and together we can change the lives of all the children and families affected by this terrible disease.
