Our personal message:

Thank you for taking some time out to visit our sit e and to sponsor us in what could probably be the greatest challenge of our lifetime.

We are doing a 10 day Trek Challenge to Machu Picchu in Peru.  Those of you that know us well will fully appreciate that this really will be a challenge for us! 

It is for an extremely good cause, that we feel very passionate about and is something that is likely to effect us all in our lifetimes.   We are supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

We are happy to be working with Prima Magazine who are organising the Trek.   Tesco Childrenswear have won the Prima High Street Fashion  Award for Best Childrenswear Retailer for the last 2 years and benefited from the positive press that this has generated.

Please dig deep (no deeper than that!) and sponsor us online.

Thank you.

Mel & Deb
