As some of you may know, in October 2019 I trekked the Great Wall of China with my Dad for Julia's House. It was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding tasks I had ever set myself... until now! The Machu Picchu trek is over the course of ten days and will consist of steep climbs which start from high altitude.

This is in memory of my sister Gemma who died aged 27 after having many health conditions from a young age. Julia's House helped both Gemma and her close family during the early days of her diagnosis. They helped put support in place for Gemma, whilst also supporting the family and ensuring their wellbeing was not being ignored.

The work that Julia's House does is so important and a lifeline to families in need. They need your sponsorship, now more than ever as the charity sector has been hit so very hard, in the difficult times we find ourselves in.

Astoundingly, Julias House has to raise 95 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why I have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.
