Story

Make-A-Wish Foundation UK exists for one reason to grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.

I am raising money for Make-A-Wish Foundation UK by trekking the Inca Trail in Peru:

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (also known as Camino Inca or Camino Inka) consists of three overlapping trails: Mollepata, Classic, and One Day. Mollepata is the longest of the three routes with the highest mountain pass and intersects with the Classic route before crossing Warmiwañusqa ("dead woman"). Located in the Andes mountain range, the trail passes through several types of Andean environments including cloud forest and alpine tundra. Settlements, tunnels, and many Incan ruins are located along the trail before ending the terminus at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu mountain. The two longer routes require an ascent to beyond 4,200 metres (13,800 ft) above sea level, which can result in altitude sickness.

Anyone that knows me, knows I am not the most athletic person and I am afraid of heights!  However, I want to do this to raise money for all of those children that have life-threatening diseases, who without the aid of Make-A-Wish Foundation would not be able to have perhaps their last wishes granted.  I really believe in this charity, every time I go on the website, it makes me well up, it is such a fantastic thing they do for these children.  Please take a look around the website to see for yourself the wonderful things that they do: https://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/

I want to thank you all for the kind donations, whether it be small or large, every little bit of that money helps!
