Richard is trekking 78kms around the Arctic Circle for The Genie's Wish Charity

Richard Pilgrim is raising money for Genie's Wish Charity

Arctic Trek · 30 January 2026

The Genie’s Wish is a UK newly registered charity whose mission is to enhance the lives of people aged 0-40years, living in England and Wales, who are suffering from a critical or terminal illness or living with a life-limiting medical condition. Our purpose is to bring respite and joy into the lives of our beneficiaries and their families, by providing them with a life-changing wish, experience, or ongoing opportunity. We also provide wish experiences, bespoke events and activities for young carers, aged 5-16, in recognition of the bravery, kindness and selflessness they display daily by caring for a family member.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well, it's been nearly 15 years since I did my last challenge of running the London Marathon, so thought it was well overdue to take on another one!

Myself and 8 other team members from Cash Converters will be trekking 78kms around the Arctic Circle over 3 days at the end of January 2026 for a fantastic charity, called The Genie's Wish.

The Genie's Wish enhances the lives of people from Birth to 40 years of age across England & Wales with a treasured wish that is suffering from a serious or terminal illness. They also offer Young Carers from 5 to 18 years of age an individual wish or a group trip day out.

Every single penny you donate will be going directly to the cause as the operational costs for us to complete this trek is funded by each of us, so any donation would be very, very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your donation!
