Thanks for taking the time to visit our Just Giving page.

The reason for this challenge is that my husband, Jane's father has been a sufferer for over ten years. Although we can’t do anything to ease the pain he suffers, we thought by raising not only awareness of this condition but also to help raise funds to research for a cure.

This will be a tough challenge trekking through 3 countries in 3 days, France, Italy & Switzerland. Day One: Our start point the head of Val Ferret, we immediately start to ascend along the back wall of the valley to our highest point of the day - Grand Col Ferret (2,537m). We descend to the Swiss village of La Fouly for the night. Day Two: We follow the Swiss part of the Val Ferret to Champex (1,450m). Day Three: Today we ascend out of Champex immediately and trek around the Fenetre d'Arpette (2,665m). A very challenging day, but an amazing end to our adventure in the Alps! We descend to our waiting vehicle at Col de la Forclaz (1,526m) and take the transfer back to Chamonix.
