JoLt

Journey of a Lifetime is a UK charity that organises a biannual month-long expedition for a group of selected young people, mostly teenagers, whose lives are profoundly affected either by social or medical problems. I made a small donation to JoLt earlier in the year and I recently received information about the people taking part in this year's expedition. It was cause for sober reflection. The JoLt site has outline bios of each of them and although some of the more personal information has been kept back, these provide some idea of the difficulties these people are facing up to day by day. It also shows how much resilience and stamina they have mustered against the greatest odds.

I hope they all have a fantastic time.
