Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October 2018, I shall be taking a 10 day trip to Peru, travelling to the ancient Inca Capital of Cusco, before trekking up to the ancient lost city of Macchu Picchu, through the remote and rarely visited Lares Valley.

I am completing this trip with Charity Challenge and I will be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

I am completely self funding my trip, this includes all of my flights, transfers, accommodation, food, equiptment etc.  This means that 100% of the sponsorship raised, will go to Macmillan. 

Also, if you are a U.K citizen, you can opt for gift aid, which means Macmillan get even more money.

The Trek to Machu Picchu Challenge is graded as Tough. On this trip I will be:
- Trekking an average of 6-8 hours per day.
- Trekking at high altitude.
- The maximum altitude reached is 4600 meters above sea level
- Trekking through remote areas where facilities are basic.

Every step I take up that mountain is helping Macmillan provide immediate practical, medical, emotional and financial support, which will change the lives  of people affected by cancer. 

 Each day,  almost 900 people will be hit with the news that they have cancer, then it will hit everyone who loves them. However, up to a quarter of people face cancer without support from family or friends and Macmillan want to make sure that no-one has to face cancer alone.

98% of Macmillan's income is from voluntary donation. All of the amazing work and services that they offer, could not continue without your generous donations.

 Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
