I've signed up for a 10 day trek through the Lares region of Peru, in aid of Havens Hospices. We will be trekking through high mountain passes, green valleys and snow capped Andean mountains, ending at Machu Picchu. Our accommodation is a snug two woman tent, temperatures plummet at night! I've never done anything like this before and it will be quite a challenge for the unfit woman who is scared of snakes and creepy crawlies and likes to have somewhere to plug in her hairdryer......I'm very excited and especially lucky to have the support of my family and friends and have already received many messages of encouragement - several querying my sanity!!
Our family is extremely grateful to Fair Havens who cared for David's father and more recently Tanya's father who goes there every week to the Day Care Centre. Such care and support obviously costs a huge amount and I hope that you will be able to sponsor me, either by attending any of my fundraising events (more info to follow) or by donating on this JustGiving page.
Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
Thank you very much, wish me luck!
Lynn
