Julia's Machu Picchu Challenge
Fundraising for MND Scotland
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hello everyone!
So I'm going to Peru to tackle Machu Picchu! This is a 12 day trip which will include 6 days of trekking and camping as we take on the Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu, which reaches up to 4650m! Walking, especially up hills and really any activity in general hasn't been my favourite thing to do until recently, so this will be a real challenge. Let the training begin!
Machu Picchu has always been on my to do list, so getting the chance to see it while raising money for a great charity like Motor Neurone Disease Scotland is an opportunity I didn't want to miss.
Motor Neurone Disease is devastating. It has no known cause, no treatment and no cure. The average life expectancy is just 14 months from diagnosis. People can become trapped in their body unable to move, talk, swallow or breathe.
MND Scotland is the ONLY charity in Scotland providing care, support & information to people living with MND, their families and carers.
£1,000 could provide a whole year of care from an MND Scotland specialist nurse for one person affected by Motor Neurone Disease... By taking on Machu Picchu our team hopes to raise £41,000! Just think how much of a difference that makes to people's lives.
Thank you so much for any donations, I'll repay you with lots of stories from my adventure! No showers, hair straighteners, toilets or wifi? No problem :)
