Story

After the huge success of the Himalaya trek last year raising a grand total of 🥁🥁🥁 £94,956.47 🥳🥳🥳 I have decided to take on a new challenge - GOING HARDER AND HIGHER 😬

On 2 November 2024, I'll be setting off on my trek to Machu Picchu, in aid of Hospiscare in memory of my dear mum in law Barbara Saffin and my friend Evelyn Goodier who were both supported with their end of life care at home by the wonderful Hospiscare team.

The route will follow the ancient and remote Salkantay trail, where snow-capped mountains collide with lush tropical rain forests. Off the beaten path, this trek is one of the most interesting and challenging ways to experience the land of the ancient Incas. I'll also be volunteering with a community project in the Sacred Valley.

Hospiscare is a local charity, caring for terminally ill patients and their families across Exeter, Mid and East Devon. Their teams of doctors and nurses offer free specialist palliative and end-of-life care, to ensure patients are able to make the most of the time they have left and live every day to the fullest. As a charity, they are reliant on donations to keep their services going and they need our support more than ever.

So please, help me make every mile count! Thank you!
