Trek for Life China 2009 · 19 April 2009 to 28 April 2009 ·

Farleigh Hospice provides hospice care & support to people affected by life-limiting illnesses. With approximately 40% of our annual running costs funded by the local NHS, we rely on the goodwill of the local mid Essex community to contribute to the £21,271 it costs to provide our services each day.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Walking is what I do but this is a challenge for me like no other - this is a 9 day trek with 5 full days of walking part of the Great Wall of China. I will be carrying a full rucksack with provisions for the day including 4 litres of water. The terrain varies from well maintained to dirt tracks & boulder paths, there are some very steep sections with sheer drops. The last day is a sunrise walk - torches will be needed;  a tough trekking day with an uphill section of 1200 steps!! This trek is not just a long walk by any stretch of the imagination!

I am doing this in memory of my friend Claire, my best friend for nearly 40 years. I have been so impressed by the care Farleigh Hospice has given to Claire, Andy and the family. By joining this trek I feel able to make a positive contribution to support the fantastic work they do.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Farleigh Hospice 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!
