Due to the fact that I have decided to relocate to London I have moved my India Trek to November 2016.  I just couldn't take on such a huge move and train at the same time.  I want to do this trip properly, be ready and fit and enjoy every moment.  I hope you don't mind?  I am still doing it, I have just postponed it. 

Despite my leaving Willen Hospice, I will be an on-going supporter.  It is a place that will forever hold a very special place in my heart for obvious reasons. 

So I will tackle my geographical move first, then tackle this personal challenge next year.  The only difference is I will be doing my training in Regents Park instead of Emberton Park!

Much love.

Mrs Julie Anne Stapleton

I will be going to North India, on one of the best treks charity events can offer, through the foothills of the Himalayas. My charity challenge begins in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan Community are situated, at the heart of the world’s highest mountain range. The 5 day trek for charity takes us through the Kingdom of Gaddi with spectacular views of the Daula Dhar Mountain Range, then through rhododendron forests, passing through Hindu settlements and Buddhist Monasteries. To end we have some free time to explore the incomparable Taj Mahal – one of the world’s greatest monuments to love ever built, and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World!  Dave wanted us to visit together.  I will go alone and take some of his ashes with me. 

I am not looking for loads of money, as I work for Willen Hospice and I am on the 'ask' all the time!  I would just like 'gestures' to spur me on!

Dave was an inspirational man and wouldn't want me to stand still, but put one foot in front of the other and keep marching.
