Story

And so our fundraising continues.......after raising a fabulous £7400.00 for St Richards Hospice at our charity garden party this Summer, we continue the celebration of Mark's big birthday in November, by flying out to Nepal to take part in a 5 day trek of the Himalayas.

As part of a small group of fundraisers, we will start the trip by spending 2 days at the local hospice in Kathmandu helping them with much needed painting, decorating and gardening before setting off into the low Himalayan mountains for 5 days of (mostly uphill) walking. 

The highest point of the trek is at 3400 metres so altitude sickness may be a problem, but we have been training for weeks and feel up to the challenge (to be honest the really hard thing for Jacqui will be not being able to use a hairdryer for 5 days!)

Our hope is that we can hit our target of raising £10,000 for the hospice, so once again we are asking for help.

We have been overwhelmed by the generous donations already made to our fund but if you feel you can donate we would be so grateful. Any amount, no matter how small will help us get closer to our target of £10,000!
