I think most of my friends and family know how much my annual trip to Lourdes with HCPT means to me - I am one of a group of wonderful friends who travel there every Easter as volunteer helpers on a holiday for children with a variety of physical, mental and social disabilities. It's a joy-filled, exhausting, rewarding, emotional and memorable week for everyone involved, and the rewards for the children and their helpers are just amazing - but this year, I need to ask your help to help me get there.
I'm pledging to 'go dry' i.e. not drink any alcohol, for the
first three months of 2014, in hopeful return for some sponsorship
from you lovely folks, to help raise my costs for the trip in late April.
Lots of people do a 'dry January' after Christmas excess, so
I'm going to take the extra step of extending this to the end of
March. Please note - this includes my birthday!!!This might seem like
a minor sacrifice, but I think the time period involved will make it
fairly hard work, while keeping the final aim on my mind!
(Note: I need to be very clear, this is me asking my friends to sponsor me to help me raise my fare. It is not fundraising directly for HCPT. Ta.)
