Story

Myself and 5 colleagues will be raising money for Chestnut Tree House. Our week-long challenge tackles a series of vigorous climbs totalling over 10,000 uneven steps, all whilst raising funds for my chosen hospice. The trek will follow the winding path along the Yan Mountains to the Gubeikou Gateway and takes on the famous ‘heavenly staircase’.

This will be a real physical and mental challenge, but it’s one I’m proud to commit to in support of such an incredible cause. Chestnut Tree House provides specialist care for children with life-limiting conditions, as well as vital support for their families during the most difficult times. I’m honoured to play a small part in helping them continue their amazing work. Every step we take will be for them, and we are so grateful for any support that helps make a difference.
