THIS YEAR

“ I had the experience of a lifetime. I overcame some

serious fears with nothing but praise and support from the leaders. It is a trip I will treasure forever - all in aid of my

uncle who I lost last year, and I know he would be so proud of me for what I achieved.

Donna, Great Wall of China – October 2015

2015 HIGHLIGHTS#WEDIDIT

“Gillian and I cycled the London to Paris challenge in May. We had an amazing experience and I wanted to share this picture with you as it meant so much to us and our charity. Thanks to the team WE DID IT - that's one off of my bucket list!” (Hazel)

‘For me its riding down the Champs Elysees and welling up under the sense of what I had achieved. The camaraderie and the friendships

will stay with me forever‘(Danny- London to Paris)

“Really for me it was a life time challenge that I always wanted to

do... After a nasty cycle accident in September 2013 I decided that the

man who drove over me wasn't going to stop my plans so I booked

it!” (Kate – Everest Base Camp)

2015 HIGHLIGHTS#WEDIDIT

“ WE DID IT! 12 days, 40 cyclists and 500km! Ho Chi Minh City to Angkor Wat!

What a way to become fitter, meet new friends and get a tan! (Sharon)

“I loved it so much I did it twice! The Sahara trek is exceptional because of the whole team and the fellow trekkers” (Audrey)

remember it at all - it was such an out of body experience but I have the photographic

evidence to prove it!”(Leanne – Mount Kilimanjaro Trek)

#WEDIDIT

“Costa Rica; swimming through waterfalls, 'light' water rafting & wet socks! So many good times that I can't pick just one!” (Peter-Costa Rica Rainforest Trek )

“The welcome we received from the Indian people was very humbling especially being greeted by smiling waving children as we cycled through their villages” (Carolyn – Rajasthan Cycle)

2015 HIGHLIGHTS#WEDIDIT

Well - I did it the hard way! I cycled London to Paris for Cornwall Downs Syndrome, crashed near Dover, went in an ambulance, had stitches then

escaped A&E to catch up the group and made it all the way to Paris!! WE DID IT and raised about £11k. (Perry)

2015 HIGHLIGHTS#WEDIDIT

For us it was completing the Hadrian's Wall

challenge! We couldn't have had a better weekend. The sun shone and the group was most entertaining. We all had a great time.

WE DID IT!” (Eileen)

“It’s sleeping in the sand dunes looking up at the stars, watching the moon set, getting to camp and

chilling. The whole experience was amazing and I have so many wonderful memories.” (Louise – Sahara

Desert Trek)

THE HIGHLIGHTS#WEDIDIT

“My favourite part? Arriving at Winaywayna, an inca site built into a steep hillside. We arrived as it was just getting light, revealing the magical sites...it was breath-taking!” (Marion – Inca Trail Trek)

“It’s got to be the fantastic scenery cycling from Venice to Rome. I was impressed with the route of day 2 – even if it was the hardest day of my life! (Zoe – Venice to Rome Cycle)
