My name is Abigail Brook and I am 8 years old.
During my Easter break I had the best holiday ever in Nepal. Where I travelled from Kathmandu to Pokhara meeting some wonderful friendly people, seeing some amazing scenery, visiting some fabulous temples and staying in many idyllic communities. Creating many fun filled memories that I thought I'd cherish forever.
When I saw the news reports of the earthquake I was devastated and my heart pounded with worry for the people I'd met and the friends I'd left behind only 2 weeks before. I now look back on many of our holiday photographs with sadness.
I decided I needed to do something to help.
On the 30th May 2015 along with my school friend Jacob Story I completed a mini triathlon which I called the 'Jam Jam Triathlon'. 'Jam Jam' is what our Nepalese tour guide Krishna said to us all the time - meaning 'Lets Go!'
I was so relieved to hear Krishna and his family were safe but so many others have suffered in ways I struggle to imagine. So on the 30th May Jacob and I swam 1km, cycled 10km and ran 2.5km to raise as much money as we could to send to the much loved communities that I was so lucky to visit. To help the people I met rebuild their homes, businesses and communities so that they can once again welcome, with open arms, young adventurers like myself.
The money I haved raised is being sent to Himalayan Encounters whose staff, guides and Sherpa's have been affected by the disaster. I want to help them and their families rebuild their lives. With my Mum and Dad we'll work with Himalayan Encounters to ensure that the money goes to the people who made our holiday (and the holidays and treks of so many other people) so special.
Please, please help me to help them.

Abigail
