In October, Megan and I will be embarking on an exciting journey to CHINA! We will be taking part in The Great Wall of China Trek, in support of LOROS.

LOROS is a charity whose aim is to enhance the quality of life of adult patients with cancer, progressive neurological conditions and end-stage organ failure for whom curative treatment is no longer possible. Patients are treated at the hospice and in the community based upon clinical need, regardless of background and the ability to pay.

LOROS cared for our Nanna in the final weeks of her short battle with cancer. We cannot thank them enough for their dedication, support and care throughout this difficult time. The money raised from our trek will go towards helping LOROS deliver high quality care and support to patients, their families and carers.

We will spend five tough days trekking along this magnificent manmade structure. We will trek over 35km and pass through watch towers, mountains and historic battlement stations that are well off the tourist trail.

The trekking on this challenge is extremely difficult due to the number of steps up and down each day – it can sometimes take an hour just to trek 1km! Another highlight will be conquering the 1,000 steps up to the wall at Mutianyu – culminating with the ascent of the ‘Heavenly Ladder’.

We will be holding a variety of fundraising events throughout the year, with all proceeds going to LOROS.

We would be grateful for any donations on this page, to kick start our fundraising and get us to China!

Thank you for your support.
