Story

Here we go again! 

Some of you may remember the challenges we have acheived in the past:

15,000 feet Parachute jumps,  trekked in Cuba, Climbed Mount Toubkal in Africa, 100km Oxfam TrailTrekker in 24 hours. Combined we have raised nearly £14,000 for various charities.

 We are both ready for another challenge and want to make a real difference, so we are self funding this trip and the great thing is every penny raised goes to Variety Children's Charity. The funds will remain in the Yorkshire region and will improve the lives of children who are disabled or disadvantaged. 

The trek consists of between 6 and 7 hours (approx 20 km ) per day at altitude. There will be some amazing scenery in the Indian Himalaya's, we will meet some incredible people and enjoy a wonderful life experience to reflect on knowing we are helping others as a result of it. 

We realise that you are often asked to contribute to charitable organisations and really do appreciate anything you are prepared to give.

And the other great thing is, because "I have to go shopping, it's part of my job, David" I can use lots of air miles for posh flights thanks to my purchases on Amex - you see, there is a God!

Do you think we can get an upgrade on the tents too?

Making a small change today can make a big difference tomorrow. Please don't leave us sat in your 'in box' do it now!!!
