Story

We are undertaking a massive challenge of trekking the Great Wall of China (well a section of it). This will be a 6 day trek, taking approximately 34 hours of solid trekking time and covering a distance of over 62 miles!!

Those of you who know us personally will know we are not the most active of people (ok I speak more for myself than Phil) but we have been given this fantastic opportunity to challenge ourselves and at the same time raise money for this worthwhile charity. 

Nearly 7 years ago my Nana was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and it has been an eye opening and upsetting experience to see what this terrible disease can do. We are hoping that one day with the help of monies raised by the Alzheimer's Society that a cure will be found and no more families will have to go through what my own family currently is!

The Alzheimer's Society provides care to people affected by dementia and supports partners and families to help them cope with the demands of caring, as well as funding into the research for that all important cure!

Please help us to help them. We would love to raise as much money as we possibly can and make dementia a thing of the past!
