On 6th October 2012, I will be taking part in a charity trek through the Grand Canyon, along with my sister, 2 sister in laws and 2 friends in memory of my niece Ellen Mezzetti who died suddenly from an epileptic seizure in Feb 2006 aged 16. Ellen is loved and greatly missed every day. As a family we strive to raise funds and awareness for the Ellen Mezzetti Memorial Fund set up with Epilepsy Research UK in her memory.

The trek is completely self funded so all monies raised will go directly to Epilepsy Research UK.

After flying into Phoenix, we begin our American charity challenge with an acclimatisation trek through Sedona. The highlight of our trek for charity will be the descent of over 3,100 ft into the mind blowing Grand Canyon following an ancient Indian trail that leads us into the breathtaking Havasupai Indian Reservation.
