Climbing Machu Picchu for Overgate Hospice
Taking on our next challenge
We’re taking on a new challenge – climbing Machu Picchu – to raise funds for Overgate Hospice, a charity that means so much to us both.
In 2024, we climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in support of Overgate Hospice. It was an experience that pushed us further than we ever thought possible, but reaching the summit was an emotional and unforgettable achievement.
Now, we want to challenge ourselves again while continuing to support the incredible work carried out by Overgate Hospice.
Why we’re doing it
Training for and completing this trek will be physically and mentally demanding, from trekking at altitude to tackling steep climbs and ancient stone steps. But it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced every day by those receiving care from Overgate Hospice.
The compassion, dignity, and support they provide to patients and families during some of life’s most difficult moments is truly remarkable.
Every penny raised will help Overgate continue delivering specialist care, comfort, and support to those who need it most.
How you can help
If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world to us. Your support will make a genuine difference.
