This October, a team of Deutsche Bank employees will be taking part in a tough 4 day hike through the Peruvian Andes to reach the lost city of Machu Picchu. They will be trekking in hot weather for 7-8 hours per day reaching altitudes of 4,600m which will be physically demanding. Whilst being a hugely challenging experience requiring strength, determination and stamina, our trekkers are also fundraising for two excellent causes: Autistica and Hope and Homes for Children.

The money raised for Autistica will fund world-class research to help improve our understanding of autism, improve diagnosis and give autistic people the chance to lead longer, healthier and happier lives.

The money raised for Hope and Homes for Children will help continue the efforts for deinstitutionalisation, supporting children into loving, stable families and working with the government to tackle the route problems of family breakdowns.

Please support the Deutsche Bank team to help improve the lives of children and families in the UK and globally.
