Hey there!
Thanks for visiting my blog for Challenge MD! The Mont Blanc Trekking Challenge 2011! I’m from Perth, Western Australia. Although I have don't have a direct link to somebody who has MD, I am fully aware of the debilitating horrors of this disorder because of my background in health sciences.
I found out about this challenge from a colleague who had done a previous challenge, and found it a very inspiring thing to do. Working in a medical environment, I have seen young children with this terrible condition, their families tired but grateful for everything done to ease their childs' frustration. If people had the gift of perfect health, why not give some time up to help others who don't? I have never done any sort of frequent (rather- any) exercise other than being forced to go up and down stairs, not to mention something as mind-boggling (painful and insane) as mountain trekking for days on end... But the effort will definitely be worth it!
I love traveling and have no doubts that as difficult as this trek would be for all of us trekkers, we would be enjoying every milestone knowing that our efforts have gone to a great cause. You donations are deeply encouraging and will be much appreciated, no matter how little.
My goal is to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy sufferers and their families by trekking mountain ranges between France, Switzerland and Italy 5-7 hours a day for 16 days. I have no doubts that as difficult as this trek would be for all of us trekkers, we would be enjoying every milestone knowing that our efforts have gone to a great cause. Your donations are deeply encouraging and will be much appreciated. Please enjoy the photos - I wish you find them as beautiful and breathtaking as I saw them in real life.
But what's my motive?
Bcause I can.
