2022 has been a tough year for many and the support of organisations like Marie Curie is so important for individuals and families in need of support with end of life care, and at times of bereavement.  To keep this support available for all those who need it, the charity needs to keep raising vital funds.  

We are therefore aiming to raise £10,000 by undertaking a trek in Patagonia in November 2022.  We will spend a week following the trail of Welsh settlers who established the colony in 1865 when around 160 people from various parts of Wales sailed from Liverpool aboard the Mimosa. They settled in the Chubut Valley in Southern Argentina, where a culturally vibrant Welsh-Argentinian population still thrives today in the heart of Patagonia. The trek will start in Esquel and we will walk up to 26 k per day with beautiful views of the Andes to keep us going, passing through places like Nant Y Pysgod and Cwm Hyfryd, and eventually arriving in the town of Trevelin.

This is a fantastic cause so we will be so grateful for any donations that you can give.  We have been running all sorts of different activities over the next 12-months and there’s is still plenty of opportunity to get involved.

Thank you!

Gareth and Alys Petty
