Hello, we’re Irene and Millie Wilson, and next year — starting on 31st October 2026 — we’re taking on the mother and daughter challenge of a lifetime - trekking for 12 days through the Indian Himalayas to the iconic Taj Mahal, to raise vital funds for HOSPISCARE.

We’re doing this in loving memory of our incredible, amazing, #1 bestie Sarah Dixon, who we heartbreakingly lost in December 2022 after a short but fierce battle with cancer. Sarah was the kind of friend everyone dreams of — vibrant, loyal, hilarious, and full of love. Her spirit lives on in all of us, and we want to honour that by doing something bold, beautiful, and meaningful.

We’re raising money for Hospiscare, the incredible charity that supports people and families facing terminal illness with compassion, dignity and care. Please donate if you can — big or small, every penny helps. You’ll be cheering us on every step of the way as we climb, hike, laugh, cry, and remember Sarah under the Himalayan skies. ✨

Let’s do something amazing — for Sarah, and for everyone who needs the love and support of Hospiscare - it could be any one of us.

The route follows an ancient trail from the home of the Dalai Lama, passing panoramic mountain landscapes along the Karei Stream, through alpine meadows. We then take the overnight sleeper train before visiting one of the wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal. We're looking forward to experiencing the rich culture and traditions of the region – and especially to spending two days volunteering with a local community project in Delhi!

Hospiscare are a local charity, caring for terminally ill patients and their families across Exeter, Mid and East Devon. The trek we're taking on will be a real challenge : trekking for up to 8 hours a day! But it's nothing compared to the challenge of a terminal diagnosis that so many face each year. If we can help make things a little easier for those facing one of life’s most difficult journeys, that’s what we're going to do!

Thank you so much, Irene & Millie x
