On the 19th June 2025, myself and a number of Co-op colleagues will be taking part in an epic adventure as we trek through three countries in three days, walking through France, Italy and Switzerland covering part of the Mont Blanc Massif, one of the world's classic long distance walking trials, covering altitudes of over 2500m.

This is an event to raise valuable funds for Barnardo's, a UK charity providing basic needs to young children while striving to ensure young people are safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful. Co-op have teamed up with Barnardo's to bring communities together to support this worthwhile cause.

It won't be an easy challenge, we'll be staying in basic chalet and mountain refuges, walking for 6-7 hours per day in all weathers and across various terrains but with your support and donations, we can really make a difference to young people's lives.
