Story
Charity work has always been important to me, and over the years, I have worked to support many great causes. This year, I wanted to set myself a personal challenge in memory of my beautiful uncle, who passed away suddenly due to a fatal undetected aneurysm, at 33 years old.
Since my car accident in 2016, I have found it extremely difficult to be able to exercise and haven't felt motivated within myself, due to on ongoing situation. Being able to work towards something so worthwhile is helping me feel more positive and I will try to power through with the support of everyone involved!
My cousin Danny and I, have always been close, and I am so happy he has agreed to take on the challenge of hiking the Great Wall of China with me! It's a hike that is accessible to people of all ages, and suitable for all abilities, so we are looking forward to meeting a great group of people taking on the challenge.
The BHF is dedicated to research that aims to transform the heart disease landscape and fight against cardiovascular disease. The research is vital to saving lives.
We often take for granted how certain lifestyle choices and stress can negatively affect our well-being, which can leave us susceptible to a number of conditions. We are taking on this challenge to raise awareness, encourage positive life choices and promote coping mechanisms when dealing with stress.
We have decided to self-fund our hike to ensure that any money raised goes directly to the charity. We are looking forward it and would really appreciate your support in helping us reach our goal and raising awareness for the cause.
Thank you
