Peru Trek
Part of New route Peru trek 2008
A big congratulations and thank you to our 14 supporters who took on the challenge to trek to Machu Picchu in Peru on the stunning Salkantay trail. Everyone worked really hard with a fantastic team spirit throughout. The sponsorship raised will go to our priority work around the world helping to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of millions of the people living in poverty.

The trip to Peru is not an easy trip. The highest point of the trip is 4600m which means however fit we are, and we're not too bad, will not matter we will suffer with altitude sickness in some way!! Within the 11 day trip only 4 days are treking but one special day will be to visit one of the ActionAid projects which is one of the things I am looking forward to. It's going to be tough, and a lot of travelling but we know it will be worth it!
My Message
We are doing a number of things to raise funds for ActionAid as part of our Trek to Peru:
- Elvis Night: Thanks to all involved, we had a fantastic night and raised £1200+ including £90 for a bottle of Elvis wine, and £200 in a song raffle!
- Top Banana: 15th March at Ellen Petitte Hall, Woburn Sands £6 ticket, bar and auction.
Watch this space for more activity including 'Cocktail Night' date to be agreed.
If you can't make this but want to help with the findraising then please use this site to dontate to ActionAid, and don't forget to Gift Aid as this gives 28% more to the charity and robs Gordon Brown which I am sure you would rather do.
