Mandy, Wendy and Craig's Fundraiser for Wigan and Leigh Hospice

Amanda Robertson is raising money for Wigan & Leigh Hospice

Team: Team fundraising for Wigan and Leigh Hospice

Great Wall of China Trek · 9 October 2027 · Start fundraising for this event

We provide specialist end-of-life care, and a wide range of support services, to over 1,200 people who are living with a life-limiting illness in the Wigan Borough. Many patients are cared for in their own homes, although we also care for people living in care homes and in our In-Patient Unit.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In October 2027, the three of us will be taking on the adventure of a lifetime – trekking the Great Wall of China in support of Wigan & Leigh Hospice. A charity that provides vital care, comfort and dignity to people and families when they need it most.

How it Started

We like walking, we like challenges and we clearly like achy legs and tiredness. Our fundraising journey began in 2025. Mandy and Wendy completed a Snowdon Sunrise Hike - an early start, tired legs and an unforgettable sunrise that showed us what we could achieve together. Later that year, and just for fun!, we went on to hike Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis to complete the National Three Peaks. Those experiences have inspired us to take on something bigger and Craig will be joining us too.

We know the Great Wall will be tough, so we're putting in the work

• Regular long=distance walks

• Climbing Hellvellyn, one of England's most iconic and demanding mountains

• Yorkshire Three Peaks, covering 24 miles and over 5000ft of ascent

• We have a goal to hike as many Wainwrights as possible before China.

Every mile brings us one step closer
