Early bird participants who sign up now will also be able to take advantage of a reduced registration fee of just £199. All funds raised from the Trek will help free disadvantaged older people from poverty, isolation and neglect. The event is open to everyone aged over 18 whos is keen to get fit for a physical challenge and relishes the great outdoors.
Miranda Harman, Event Fundraiser at Age Concern and Help the Aged commented: China offers travellers breathtaking scenery, a rich and vibrant culture and a journey across a challenging landscape. The Trek is also a great way for single travellers to experience the holiday of a lifetime and make some great friends while making a difference to the lives of older people at the same time. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity which we hope will be too good to resist and its all in a great cause too!
