Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Dear Family, Friends, and all other Red Cross Supporters!

Informa has given me and seven of my colleagues an amazing opportunity to climb above 5,000 meters in the Himalayas, as we trek Lunag (Nepal) to raise money for our charities. We leave September 30th for a 19 day adventure that will challenge our bodies and minds as never before. Please sponsor me as I climb, during my 30th birthday, to raise money for this charity.

This spring was the most deadly and damaging tornado season in the US in 75 years, leaving major destruction across several states with more than  500 dead.  As president Obama said during his visit to Joplin, Missouri, "The main thing I just want to communicate to the people of Joplin is this is just not your tragedy. This is a national tragedy and that means there will be a national response."  Lets respond together; please sponsor me as I climb for this charity.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. Please help me reach my goal for this charity and I will do everything I can to prepare and complete the trek.
 

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Sincerely,
Christina
