The challenge….

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is a tough endurance challenge, reaching 5,500 metres plus and descending over a period of 11 days.

Trekking on varied terrain, out in the elements, whilst combating the effects of altitude, participants will spend long periods on their feet each day to cover 10 miles + (6-9 hours!) meaning preparation is vital.

As part of the training, participants will also take on a 50km ultra walk through the Kent Downs. This will not only build fitness and stamina but also help ensure their bodies are ready for the rigours of the mountains—making the experience more rewarding and enjoyable.

The charity…

Demelza provides expert clinical care and emotional support to children and young people with serious or terminal conditions, and their families, to live the best life they can.

Working across Kent, South East London and East Sussex our specialist nursing, care, family liaison, therapist and counselling teams support families when and where it is needed most.

This may be within our residential hospices in Kent or South East London, our hub in East Sussex, online, out in the community or in the family home.

Any donations you are able to make will be greatly appreciated in support of this great cause.

Thanks, Matt x
