The Alps – the trek has begun!
Our group of intrepid trekkers set off for Geneva on Wednesday, 11th September. They’ll be trekking 43km of the famous ‘Tour Du Mont Blanc’ to raise money for Nightingale House Hospice.
The weather had been cold with showers, but that was nothing to put our incredible trekkers off as they steadily climbed through the mountain forests.
We are so grateful to them all for their hard work and dedication, both in their training and in their fundraising. They’ve been amazing!
And it’s not too late to support them! See their fundraising pages here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/nhhthealpstrek2024
