HDA fundraising: Trek in China for FREE!
If you have ever wanted to do an exhilarating challenge for charity here is your chance! The Huntington’s Disease Association are looking for adventurous volunteers to trek in China along part of The Great Wall - one of the wonders of the world and if you raise enough in sponsorship you will get to take part for free!
For a country with the biggest population in the world China remains largely untouched by the West. It is a beautiful country steeped in tradition, history and mythology.

For those with a passion for culture and a sense of adventure China leaves an indelible mark on all who go there.
Take part in the trip of a lifetime; you will trek the Great Wall, visit Beijing and even get the chance to take part in a giant 400ft zip slide!
