St Leonard's Hospice is marking its Silver Jubilee in 2010 with a fund-raising trek to Nepal, starting in late October 2010.
A group of trekkers will be on top of the world with a 10-day trek to Bhara Pokari in
Nepal from 28 October to 7 November 2010.
They have already undertaken a weekend of training in the Lake District.
Organised by specialists Community Action Treks (CAT), who ensure that the trek also helps support the local Nepali people, this special adventure will take you on mountain 
paths with stunning views of some of the highest of the Himalayan peaks.
Each day the trekkers will walk for anything between four and eight hours. They'll pass through lush forest and by thundering waterfalls and raging rivers as well as seeing magnificent mountain vistas. En route there is plenty of time for rest, taking photographs and enjoying a cooked lunch. They will visit some of the projects that CAT is helping, meet local people and explore the rich Nepali culture.
St Leonard's has asked everyone who goes on the trek to guarantee to raise sponsorship of at least £1,000. They are also funding the cost of getting themselves to Nepal and back, and of the trek itself.
If you can help with sponsorship for the trek, please call the Hopsice' Fundraisng Centre on 01904 77 77 77. You can discover more about Community Action Treks from their website - www.catreks.com
