Skanda Vale Hospice Swiss Lakes Challenge

Debbie Bergstrom is raising money for Skanda Vale Hospice

Swiss Lakes Challenge · 12 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Fifteen kilometres across a high Alpine plateau, past a dozen glacial lakes in every shade of turquoise, with 900 metres of ascent and the option to swim in water that’s about 5°C. All for a very good cause.

Story

I am raising money for the Skanda Vale Hospice by taking part in the Swiss Alps Challenge trek on 12 September 2026, a 15km trek covering over 900m of ascent. Skanda Vale Hospice provides incredible support, free of charge, to those in need and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to help.

This will be a remarkable journey through the breath-taking Swiss Alps, navigating between a dozen stunning glacial lakes, each shimmering in unique shades of turquoise and two mountain passes soaring above 2,700 metres. This trek is not only physically demanding but also deeply inspiring.

My motivation for undertaking this challenge is to raise vital funds for Skanda Vale Hospice, an organization that provides unhurried and compassionate care to families living with life-limiting illnesses. The need for such care is profound and ongoing; every contribution helps ensure that these families receive the support and comfort they deserve during difficult times.

I humbly ask you to support me in reaching my fundraising target of £401. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference to Skanda Vale Hospice’s mission. Every pound raised brings hope and care to those who need it most. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support.
