OK, this is my first posting on my Inca Trek blog. I thought I would use it to tell everyone why I am doing it.

I was supposed to be donating bone marrow in December 2004. Unfortunately, the recipient became to ill to go through with the procedure and the transplant never took place. Since that time I have been thinking of ways to raise money for the charity to help in some other way and have decided to walk the Inca Trail Trek in Peru in October 2006.

I am dedicating this trip to the memory of a very brave, courageous and special young woman JEN WEAVER (1978-2006) On 20/07/2006 at 01:00, Jen died in Montana, U.S.A. I never met Jen but have followed her progress and her constant fight against chronic granulomatous disease. She has been an inspiration to me whilst trying to raise these funds.
