Arctic Trek · 30 January 2026

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!
