EVIE - MOUNT EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK 2017

My name is EVIE

I have been fund- raising for White Lodge Centre for a few years. I have already completed an Auction, Sky- Dive & Trek in Petra, Jordan.

 I have always wanted to contribute in some way to make things better in a positive way. As I have been living with disability myself, I always want to set a positive example. This year I lost my mother who always told me to have a positive outlook in life.

Everest Base Camp Trek 2017 

This is probably one of the hardest challenge I have ever signed up to do!!!!! The trek will be over 18 days where we will prepare our bodies for high altitude. This will be a spiritual &  humbling experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Anything that you can donate will be much appreciated and everything raised will go to the White Lodge Centre.

It costs £2.5 million a year to run White Lodge Centre which is not fully met by statutory resources. Here’s how your donation will help:

- £25 is the cost of a play-worker to support a disabled child for half a day at a specialist holiday play scheme.
- £50 will pay for one session in the hydrotherapy pool for a disabled child or adult.
- £100 will pay for two physiotherapy sessions for a disabled child or adult.

Thanks to the support White Lodge Centre has received over the last year, this is some of what they have been able to achieve:

- 431 people benefited from hydrotherapy
- 142 children and young people accessed their playschemes
- 104 adults and 63 babies and children accessed their therapy services
- 42 individuals were supported through their Face2face service
