Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm fundraising for my eldest daughter, Anna.

Anna is 19 and she started planning her first ever travelling trip - inter-railing in Europe when her work kindly agreed to give her the whole month of September 2025 off work (unpaid). As soon as agreed the time off, she started saving and planning with gusto.

Anna makes us so proud, her resilience and non stop drive is incredible! She has saved so hard for this trip and has booked all of her train tickets and hostel stays. She is planning to visit 21 cities, and 11 countries in the thirty days she has available. The only thing left is to get together some spending money whilst she is abroad - enough to cover her meals and a few well-deserved treats! She then hopes to start planning another trip when she returns - she wants to see the World!

This isn't a begging bowl by any stretch, I just thought, as her mum, what can I do to help Anna to get some spending money together for this trip, and make a start towards paying for the next one. GoFundMe came to mind. I thought I would share this link with our family and friends and just see if it might help her with a few extra quid. Please don't feel obliged or anything like that, we absolutely appreciate that times are tough and, as far as lives go, us Jones' have it pretty good! Just if you can spare a pound or two to contribute to her trip, I know she would be (a) ASTONISHED and (b) so very very grateful :)
