Trekking to Everest Base Camp

Thank you for taking the time to visit our page.

On 12th March this year Adam and Tara are taking on the huge challenge of treking to Everest Base Camp in the Himalayas, Nepal.

It will take us 12 days in total. Base camp actually sits on a glacier at 5,364 metres, we will be staying at tea houses along the way in our sleeping bags, having to endure a lack of oxygen and extremely low temperatures of -17.

Unfortunately living by the sea we cannot do any high altitude training, but we are doing many hikes & walks along our coastal paths and the moors to try and be as fit as we can.

We are raising money for our local Rowcroft hospice and a refugee camp playschool in Bulgaria.

Rowcroft care for more than 2,000 people across South Devon every year. Patients come from all walks of life. Whether you’re 18 or 80, if you have a life-limiting illness such as cancer, heart disease or MND, they are there for you.

Rowcroft touched us personally a few years ago caring for Adams Dad. We were overwhelmed by the love and care his Dad received as a patient at Rowcroft. We feel a strong bond to look after our local hospice for others to have the same love and support.

Harmanli refugee playschool is run by two unpaid and unfunded ladies from England. Their aim has been to set up and run a centre for play based learning and therapeutic play for children. Most have had their homes and all their possessions destroyed by war, many have lost family members and all have experienced extreme trauma. Many are unaccompanied minors. The play school provides a safe environment in which children can play, relax, learn and forget about the grown up worries that they spend so much time exposed to.

We have been visiting & supporting this camp in Bulgaia for a number of years. We also take Christmas stockings to the children there each year.

These two charities are close to both our hearts. 100% of all the money raised will be divided equally between them.

We would really appreciate any donations for these worthwhile causes.
