Story
In March we're heading to Nepal to attempt the Brick School to Base Camp Trek. With Aspire Adventure we'll be walking the 130km round trip from Lukla to Everest Base Camp (at 5380m altitude).
We're raising money for the Brick Children School, a community education project for child labourers working in the brick fields of the Kathmandu Valley. It's one of the most marginalised and hard-to-reach communities in the world.
We are 100% funding ourselves for this trek so EVERY penny you donate goes directly to getting kids into the classroom and giving women the skills they need to start their own businesses.
The Brick Children School has been part of our family since 2004, with Carole making regular filming trips and raising funds. But this is the first time we'll be visiting as a family. We're training hard for what will be a physically and mentally challenging trek but we know that our efforts, and your donations will make a lasting difference.
The Brick School gives pupils respite from brick-making and a quality education in a safe, happy environment. It helps each child achieve their potential, giving them the opportunity to relax, play and just be kids.
Thank you. Diolch yn fawr.

5 years agoWe did it! We made it to Everest Base Camp on Monday 11th March. The 11 day trek took us through an extraordinary landscape of rock and ice and we had our breath taken away… literally by the altitude and in every other sense by the sight of Everest itself. We’re really grateful for your sponsorship and support for the Brick Children School. In total we’ve raised over £2000. We’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of friends, family and colleagues. It really kept us going when the trek got tough! So – a huge and heartfelt thank you.
