Alzheimer's Society - Trek the Great Wall of China · 2 May 2009 to 11 May 2009 ·

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

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
