34 young British Muslims will spend five days hiking across the French Alps this June to raise thousands of pounds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) will embark upon a five day hike during which the 34 sponsored hikers will both camp and cook their own food for the duration of the trip. The participants intend to raise in excess of £20,000 for Macmillans who provide essential practical, medical, and financial support for the one in three Brits who suffer from cancer during their lives.

The hike is one of the many events organised by AMYA as part of its larger Charity Challenge 2012 Campaign which seeks to raise over £150,000 for a whole host of worthy charities.

The participants have already been preparing themselves for the event by holding a hike to the summit of Snowdonia, the highest mountain in Wales, in early February. AMYA and its hikers are now looking forward to the big event and desperately need your donations to help them raise as much money as possible for Macmillans.
