Event location: Almost anywhere in the world!
Event date and time:
There are a huge number of international expeditions available for those wanting to go that little bit further with their fundraising. From conquering an Arctic tundra, to trekking the Andes or cycling South Africa; we can put you in touch with specialist tour operators who’ll make the necessary arrangements to get your trip off the ground.
Last year saw two teams of trekkers take on the jungles of Borneo and the perilous slopes of The Grand Canyon for St Luke’s. For Lorraine Walkin, 65, a housewife and fitness fanatic, Borneo was her fourth overseas challenge having already taken on Mount Kilimanjaro, The Great Wall of China and the Arctic to raise funds for the hospice. “I’ve always loved challenges and I don’t think I’ll ever stop,’ says Lorraine. ‘People think I’m mad but everything I do has always given me a real sense of achievement and even more so when raising money for a worthwhile local cause.” Why not have the experience of a lifetime and raise money for the hospice; it’s a great way to celebrate a life.
