On the road to Machu Picchu – raising money for Children Today

The three Daves; Mr Allan, Mr Raine and ‘Disco’ Hodgson, are joining the Evans boys; Pete and Ben, to take on the hardest trek of their lives in a bid to raise £17,000 for Children Today.

Braving blisters, sunburn and altitude sickness, the team will be dusting off their hiking boots for a mammoth trek through Peru to witness the majestic site of Machu Picchu.

Starting on 12th April 2012, the spectacular ten day venture into the Lost City of the Incas will take them up steep, rocky, mountain tracks and through breath-taking landscapes and historic ruins, as well as immersing them in ancient Peruvian culture and local life.

All five have ensured the full costs of participating are already covered and so proceeds from this site all go to helping UK children with disabilities via the Children Today Charitable Trust. Please help them raise as much as possible by making a donation today.

The team has been brought together by Pete Evans, CEO of Police CU, and includes his son Ben and his friend David Allan, as well as Dave Raine, Police CU Hon Vice President and former auditor at Police CU, 'Disco' Dave Hodgson.

If you’d like to follow their progress, they will be doing their best to update the website at www.policecu.co.uk with stories from the road from 11 April.

To sponsor them by text, your donation will be added to your mobile phone bill. It’s free to use, so the charity receives 100% of the money. You’ll receive a receipt, and the chance to add Gift Aid. Simply text the code XGPP64 and the amount you’d like to donate, e.g. £10, and send it to 70070. Your donation will be added to this JustGiving page.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
