Story

After my last challenge of trekking Mount Kilimanjaro for Demelza, Becci wouldn’t let me go away again and leave her behind for so long - so we decided to do a challenge together!

In September 2024 we’ll be heading off to Peru, trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, fighting midgies and altitude, but hopefully not each other. It may not quite be as high as Kilimanjaro but I’ve got to put up with Becci 24/7 for 10 whole days!

Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. We are here to support them and their families at every step - from first diagnosis and for as long as we’re needed.
