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.
