Supporting Skanda Vale Hospice
We Did It – Together!
What an adventure! Our target was £10,000 – and thanks to the amazing support of 211 donors, we raised more than that.
This was made possible by 14 fundraisers – from Switzerland, Holland, Germany, the UK, and Wales. Some were seasoned hikers, others took their very first steps straight from their office chairs, yet everyone shared the same determination.
The hike was breathtaking. We started in misty fields, not knowing what lay ahead. Then, as we reached the first peak, the sun tore through the clouds – suddenly we could see for miles, and walking along the ridge felt like flying. Later, temperatures dropped and the trail grew tough, with rocky climbs and aching joints, but no one gave up.
We spotted chamois and marmots, some even braved a dip in an ice-cold mountain lake for extra sponsorship, and at the end our wonderful catering team greeted us with hot tea and spicy soup.
This journey was about more than just hiking. It was about carrying the patients, supporters, and the hospice team in our hearts every step of the way. It was about healing, determination, and creating a positive spiral of energy that lifted everyone – hikers, donors, and beneficiaries alike.
