Have you ever wanted to see and walk on the Great Wall of China? I have, but I never knew when and how I would do it. Then the chance to be there, experience more than just a photo opportunity, challenge myself, raise money for a fantastic charity and have a great story to tell at the end all came about in one phenomenal trip.

For many years I have been supporting Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care both personally and professionally, but I have never done anything like this. Training, Travelling and Trekking is outside my "comfort zone", but the chance to help and support the wonderful work the hospice does, helped me take that step outside the zone.

I know this will be an experience of a lifetime and I cannot expect people to donate towards that, so I will be covering all of my own travel costs, and therefore all fundraising I achieve will be going to support the wonderful work done by the Hospice.

For those who don't know who Rennie Grove Peace are, they are a registered charity providing free, specialist care and support for adults and children with a life-limiting illness in Herts and Bucks. They support and empower people from diagnosis to live the best quality of life possible. Whether it’s a life-limiting condition or a terminal illness, Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care can support people of all ages through our work in the community, in the home and at our Inpatient Unit. They offer practical, specialist and emotional support for the whole family to help families spend quality time together when every moment matters.

Whatever you can donate will drive me to complete this challenge and will help support people when they need it most.
