Those of you that know me will appreciate how a big step out of my comfort zone this is!

Even flying to Peru (three different flights) on my own, let alone the trekking at altitude when I get there.

I wanted to set myself a challenge and quickly realised that it would be a great opportunity to raise support for a good cause. I have chosen the Alzheimer's Society as it is a condition that affects so many of our lives and loved ones.

I am self funding the trip so everything raised on here goes to the charity

Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever.Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
