Emma's Trek the Grand Canyon page
Emma Vincent is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
Story
Hi , I am raising money for Alzheimer's in honour of my Nanna who is 90yrs old.
I need to do something positive for my Nanna and all other people living this hell . I am going to keep fighting for better research into Alzheimer's , I know it will be to late for my Nan but if I can help people in the future I will.
Dementia is a horrible, incurable disease, that currently affects around 850,000 people in the UK alone. Alzheimer's Society helps support people with dementia and fund research to help find a cure as soon as possible.
This is a massive challenge for myself - a mum of two - 6 and 4 years, finding the time to train in-between school runs, working as a preschool teacher and running a house is quite a challenge.
I will be trekking the grand canyon for 7 days and up at 5 or 6am with a light breakfast and then walking up to 8 hours a day. It will be tough and challenging terrain with several river crossing which don't have bridges (wading through water) as well as sleeping in 2 man tents at the bottom of the canyon.
I have been warned to watch out for snakes!!!!!!! eek
So wish me all the best and anything you can donate, i am extremely grateful.
Thank you for all your support, Emma xx
