Story

The two weirdos you see in the photo above have been a bit bored since conquering and ruling over Westeros so now we're heading to China to see if we can conquer the Great Wall as well.

No we're not a threat to national security (don't worry China, we're friendly!), we're doing a nine day charity trek for Scottish Huntington's Association (SHA)!

On a serious note - we've chosen to do this because of the incredible work SHA do day in day out for families living with Huntington's disease (HD) in Scotland. As a fundraiser for SHA I get to hear about the difference the charity has made for people dealing with the enormous challenges of HD. I love my job because I get to work with a great community of people so want to do something personally to give back.

We are paying for trip costs ourselves so money raised on this event will go straight to the charity!

Our wonderful friends and family you have been incredible in supporting us in the past. We can never thank you enough and we hate to ask again so we promise we are going to earn your donation! This year we will be following a tough training plan to make sure we are in top condition for the China Trek! We'll be sharing our progress from couch potatoes to conquerors so you can check in and make sure we're doing our bit!

This won't be easy but it will be damn well worth it! Please give generously - we hope to raise a lot! !
