My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am 50 years old and have never done anything like this before in my life. I haven't even flown before, so the flight to Beijing is a challenge in itself.

My family are supporting me and my husband is taking leave from work to look after our 3 school age children.

The Trek itself is 100 kilometers (62.5 miles in old money !!) which will take about 40 hours of walking spread over 6 days. It is certainly no walk in the park, as it is over quite hilly terrain.  

Full information on the challenge can be found at:-

Current sponsors include Birch Hill Primary School, CRM Plumbing, Sarah Whelan (Personal Trainer), Brenda's Swimming School.

Thank you kieran for the cake sale.

Thanks to Moss End for use of their premises for collection

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Society gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
 
So please sponsor me now!

Thank you in advance
