Katie's Ski Tracks

We have been collecting waste paper to raise money for a charity called Katie Ski Tracks. We hope toraise £600. This allows children with disadvantaged backgrounds and  who are terminally ill  to go on a Skiing Holiday of a Lifetime to Italy - without their parents or carers. For some of the children, it will be the first, and last holiday they will ever have. 

 Katie's Ski Tracks was named after Katie Noctor who helped co-found the charity in 1990, and lost her own personal fight against cancer just 2 years later.

Katie's is run by volunteers who receive no wages or remuneration. With no authority funding, professional fundraisers or expensive marketing campaigns, support from the public is vital to keep making "The Impossible Possible".

Now every year a group travels overland with 20 children and 29 CRB-checked volunteers, including a paediatric medical team, carers and trained ski guides to meet the 24 hr needs of each individual child. We provide all the necessary medical and adaptive ski equipment, and a full entertainment programme. All the volunteers give their time for free and either fundraise or help pay their own fare.

So far we have raised £450
