About me

We're back!!! What a truly amazing experience. I always knew it was going to be a big one for me, but little did I know how big. It started with the fundraising and the almost unbelievable level of generosity & support I have received from family, friends, acquaintances and total strangers. Then the trip itself into a beautiful country with a great bunch of people for company. My thanks to everyone it has enriched my life in ways I cannot begin to explain. If anyone has thoughts and the opportunity to embark on a similar journey I can only advise you to "Just do it!" Enjoy the photos!

I've done an presentation and an interview with the local Press since coming home and will also be interviewed by BBC Guernsey at 12 noon on Thurs 3rd Jan 08.

Before I went.
I'm 53 years old, I work for Investec Trust (Guernsey) Ltd, my job title is Assistant Manager,Technical Training & Development. Well that's what I do to earn a living...I spend a lot of my spare time fund raising for the ActionAid Guernsey Support Group. I love it, we organise all sorts of events to keep the cash rolling in. Which should mean the fund raising part will be easy...except this is personal! With an average of one event per month we pretty much have all the usual ideas covered so I'm thinking I'm going to have to come up with something spectacular to get noticed and I hate being the centre of attention. What will it be?

I have joined the Build Challenge Cambodia because I felt the time was right. I have long wanted to be more actively involved, Cambodia is one of the projects the Guernsey Support Group have chosen for this year and I will celebrate my Birthday out there...so if I was looking for signs & portents how many more did I need?
