We are trekking to Everest Base Camp. OK, it's been done before. But we'll be going up dressed as farmyard animals. We reckon this is the first time that an ostrich, a bee, a pig, a frog, a horse, a cow, and a parrot (!) will flock together under the shadow of planet Earth's highest peak.

We hope to raise lots of money for Horsfall House in Glos, UK. Horsfall provides an invaluable service looking after, with great patience and kindness, elderly people suffering from Alzheimer's and Dementia.

We would appreciate even the smallest of contributions.

Many thanks,

Maria, Mafalda, Angus, Ben, Rak, Mike, Simon & Will
