Story
PART TWO.....
So, for those of you who haven't heard the story our Sahara trek didn't quite go as planned and became a much bigger challenge than we were expecting! Ruth fell critically ill on the first night and ended up having emergency, major abdominal surgery and two blood transfusions in a very rural clinic in Morocco. Ruth didn't make it out to the desert and Nicole and Hannah only completed the final two days of the trek. Having spoken about always wanting to take on the three peaks for charity and whilst still on her near death bed Ruth was convinced by Hannah that when back on her feet they would complete the three peaks together and put the whole drama behind them!!!! Fast forward a few short months (yikes) and we're off!!!! No dramas this time please!!!! Many of you have already supported us so there is no pressure to donate again but just encase anyone fancies throwing a quid or two our way to help us up our mountains we'd be very grateful.
PART ONE!
So, like fools, we have signed up to trek the Saraha to raise money for We Hear You for their 25th birthday. We have 9 months to raise as much money as we can (our goal £10,000) and to get ready to trek many miles across sandy dunes in hot temperatures!
All 3 of us have had a shitty experience at some point with cancer/grief which have at times has made functioning with normal life seem tricky. That's why we all can appreciate how vital the service We Hear You provides is.
Alongside asking our friends and family to sponsor us we will be throwing plenty of fun fundraising events to give you something back in return! At each event we will also give a small donation to another charity we feel passionate about to help spread the impact of this (hopefully) large amount of money. Our first two other chosen charities are Mother2Mother and Sands.
We set sail on March 14th and hope to have raised a huge tonne of money by then!
Thank you so much for your support. It honestly means the world to us! We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our various coffee mornings, garden parties and our big fundraising Ball in Feb!
Thanks again
Hannah, Nicole and Ruth xxxxx
