St Richard's Great Wall of China Trek · 17 October 2026 to 25 October 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Hospice supporters take on an epic adventure as they trek remote section of the Great Wall of China, from Gubeikou to Jinshanling and Simatai 🥾

Story

On September 28th, 2025, Andrew the most wonderful, kind, big-hearted generous man passed away at St Richard's Hospice at the age of 60 after a valiant battle with a rare form of cancer losing his battle less than a year since diagnosis. Andrew was an adored Hubby, Dad, Bampy, uncle, sibling, brother in law and friend to many. Always up for an adventure, Andrew asked that I undertake this adventure on his behalf.

I kindly ask you to donate to this cause to enable the hospice to continue its amazing work. While there, only 9 of the 17 beds were available due to funding constraints. Without the hospice's support, Andrew would not have experienced the wonderful last two weeks of life surrounded by care and love.

I am embarking on an epic adventure to trek a remote section of the Great Wall of China from Gubeikou to Jinshanling and Simatai on October 17th, 2026. This magnificent structure built on rolling hills presents a unique challenge with its hundreds of thousands of stairs—some crumbling and resembling steep gravel slopes.

As I take on this incredible journey, I am raising sponsorship to support the vital care and services that St Richard's Hospice provides to patients and families across Worcestershire. The compassionate team at St Richard's Hospice ensures that everyone in our community receives the care and support they deserve during their most challenging times.

Together, we can make a difference. I kindly ask for your support in helping me reach my target of £2,500. Your generous contributions will directly impact the lives of those who rely on these essential services. Let’s work together to ensure that no one faces their journey alone.
