This October, I will be trekking the Great Wall of China with Lee Slimming and Pete and Niki Davies in memory of our friend James Buckle who sadly lost his fight against cancer in October last year, aged just 28.

Taking on James' spirit of adventure, on 14 October, Lee, Pete, Niki and I will jet off to Beijing ready for 9 unforgettable days of trekking, climbing, slipping, sliding, aching, and the odd bit of sightseeing. We will be trekking for 5 days in total, walking approximately 12km each day and climbing a scary number of steps - so we definitely won't be able to move by the end!

I am covering the whole cost of the trip myself, so all money donated through this page goes straight to Bowel Cancer UK. I would be so grateful for anything that you are able to donate for this great cause. Thank you!
