Jenny Munton - Hike for CHOC - Naukluft, Namibia, July 2008.

 

I am about to embark on a very special experience. I plan to spend 8 days covering 120km of difficult terrain, including climbing numerous chains, in the Naukluft Valley in Namibia. It is the most difficult hike in Southern Africa. I am doing this at 61 and as a survivor of cancer.

In 2000, I embarked on a very demanding experience of a diferent nature - 6 months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. I was fortunate enough to succeed in overcoming all obstacles then.

In hiking in Naukluft, I will be rejoicing at the beauty and thanking God for having survived to see the beauty of such a wonderful place. The children of CHOC have not had many years of life before having to undergo chemotherapy and without our help, many will not have the chance to experience a future, nor see such beauties of nature.

I therefore would like to request donations to CHOC, so that I can hold their special work in my heart during the hike and contribute to making it possible for as many children as possible to have the opportunity to experience a full life after cancer.

Please make credit card donations by visiting the secure BackaBuddy website at www.backabuddy.co.za. The system will help you through the simple payment process, and you will receive an immediate email acklnowledgment. Your donation, and any words of encouragement, will then appear on my free BackaBuddy webpage and will also be reported directly to CHOC.

Thank you for supporting this good cause.

Kind regards

Jenny Munton
