Trek for a Local Charity to the Highest Mountain in North Africa

Local charity Parity for Disability is looking for intrepid travellers to take part in a unique, life changing trek in 2010 to the highest mountain in North Africa.

The event runs from October 2nd to 9th 2010 and those taking part are asked to raise £1,500 to help maintain the charity’s vital services for children and adults with multiple disabilities in the local community.

Journeying to the top of Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains, 4167 metres above sea level, participants will experience dramatic stark crags, rugged mountain trails and views of other mountains over 4,000 metres high.

The funds raised will help maintain Parity’s vital services for children and adults with multiple disabilities in the community. The charity relies on the public to raise over £100,000 each year to keep it going, and hopes to bring in at least £10,000 from the Atlas trek.

Staff at Parity will be available to advise on fundraising and preparation. Plenty of walking in the British hills will ensure participants are fit for the challenge.

“People who take part in fundraising treks for Parity say they feel a huge sense of achievement and that it’s an experience they’ll never forget,” said Parity Event Organiser Helene Abbiss.

For more information, please contact Helene on 01252 375581 or helene@parityfordisability.org.uk. You can also view a brochure about the trek by visiting the event calendar at www.parityfordisability.org.uk
