Mum’s trek to Iceland

3 local mums are about to fly off to Iceland to be involved in a fundraising trek for 4 great charities.

The June edition of 21^st Century Women featured an interview with Jo Burroughes who, with Tanya Forster and Emma D’avilar, face the huge challenge of trekking though lava field, past giant volcanic lakes, raging waterfalls and wading through rivers in their quest to raise money for their chosen charities.

Jo who battled cancer and won; had a wonderfully encouraging time away with her family when things were very dark for her and she now wants to repay the charity for time of tranquility they offered her and the family. The Willow Foundation is Jo’s charity.

Emma Davis was very moved by the story of a little girl called Chloe who has complex health and social needs due to a genetic condition. She and her mum, Nadia, have been using the services provided by EACH, the East Anglia Children’s Hospice since Chloe was 2 yrs old. It is the only place which Nadia will totally trust to care for Chloe. So, Emma is trekking for EACH.

Tanya, who is a former deputy mayor of Huntingdon will be fundraising for two charities, Hunts Blind Society and Bloodwise. Their join target was to get to £10,000 before they fly out this week and they are almost there. It’s not too late to donate: go to their fundraising website: www.virginmoney.com/mumstrekiceland
