Hitting the Himalayas...
“As part of our challenge, we’re not just
trekking the Himalayas, we are organising and
hosting fun filled fundraising events over the
next few months”.
Four friends will climb in the Himalayas
in their quest to beat cancer.
Sharon Ferguson-Cuffe, who lost husband
Gary to oesophageal cancer 19 years ago
when he was 35, will join friends Caroline
McClellan, Jo McDonnell and Rebecca Hazell
to walk in the Dharamshala mountains.
The Indian trek will raise money and
awareness for Cancer Research UK.
Over five days in October, they will walk for
more than 30 hours in altitude up to 3,000m,
close to the Dalai Lama’s home. But according
to Sharon, their biggest challenge is raising
their £12,000 target.
Sharon comments, “Having all been affected
by the devastating effects it inflicts, we want
to do as much as we can to help conquer
cancer”.
“We’ve already packed bags at Waitrose and
have a quiz night in February and Ceilidh
night in March – both at Moreton Hall. You
may have seen some of the posters we’ve put
around town!”
Sharon has completed charity runs and says
the group walk together regularly.
The four, with a combined age of 218, would
love you to join them at the following events:
Quiz night at Moreton Hall Community
Centre. Saturday, February 23, from 7pm.
Tickets are £6.
Ceilidh at Moreton Hall Community Centre.
Friday, March 15, from 7pm.
Clairvoyant evening. June 14. Details TBC.
