Story

Hi everyone.

We have organised and taken part events for Nightingale over the last 10 years.This has come to being after hearing amazing stories and also having sadly lost family and friends through this inspirational hospice.  It is just a fantastic local organisation.

2019 we both took part on  a fantastic cycle journey in Vietnam and Cambodia ending up at the stunning Angkor Wat. It was the last challenge we said BUT then came along this one what a bucket list tick.  

 We sat and pondered , we have managed to self fund all our challenges.   Previous events have been so special getting to know 25 plus people who have become friends sharing special memories and experiences of the hospice. 

 So it was a no brainer really as any donations we raise will  and do make a difference. We just have to keep convincing  Katrina  who is a little concerned about the climb  to say the least, but hey we are a team!

So bring on this year's challenge, a breathtaking 10 days conquering the one and only Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Its snow-capped summit rises high above the African plains; huge permanent glaciers flow down from the summit, spectacular views and ice formations are the reward for pushing our limits, both physically and mentally on this, the mightiest of challenges.

You can be a part of our challenge too help us raise as much as we can, every penny helps together we can make a difference.

If  you are interested in making a difference taking a challenge visit the Nightingale website. 

Thank you for taking time to read our page.
