Story

Hello! 

On the 7th October 2022 I, along with a bunch of incredible people, will be trekking to Machu Picchu to raise vital funds for Julia's House. 

I'll be following in the footsteps of 20th century explorers, hiking at altitudes of more than 15,000 feet along a spectacular mountain pass, finishing at Machu Picchu. This 6 day trek will be extremely challenging; battling high altitudes, long distances and very basic camping facilities - gulp! 

I'm taking on this challenge because I want to help families facing unimaginable heartbreak. Julia’s House provides frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break. Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 95 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why I have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.

Any donation will be very much appreciated - if you do donate, I will take on any additional challenges you set along the way! 

All my love, 

Katie -x-
