My Message
Hello, hello! I'm extremely excited (hence the two "Hellos") to be taking part in this trek through the Himalayas. This is my first charity challenge event and hopefully the beginning to a lifelong commitment to learning about cultures that are vastly different from my own and helping out whenever and wherever possible. The challenge will be daunting, but hopefully you will join me in support of a truly amazing cause. Help the fight to end world poverty!
