The team of intrepid animal-lovers will trek for two weeks up to Everest Base Camp at an dizzying height of 17,600ft above sea level. 

The high altitude will have a huge effect on the trekkers and coupled with sub-zero temperatures the challenge will be extremely tough. Starting in the Nepalese town of Lukla, the team will follow the footsteps made famous by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to Everest Base Camp, on a trek which winds higher and higher in the Himalayas, through forests, gorges, rivers and ice falls.

This will not be easy or fun and they will have to overcome many challenges, of dehydration, altitude sickness, fatigue, blisters and potential illness. But it will be completely worth it when you know that all the money you have raised will be able to help so many animals who cannot save themselves, from harm. 

Their fundraising will give thousands of dogs, cats, horses, seals, birds, sheep and even lizards a second chance in life in a loving home.
