Story

Hi all,

A group of us will be trekking for 10 days in Cuba to raise funds for the Leukaemia Cancer Society (UK) on 05 Nov 2016. 

4 of us have grouped together with a fundraising target of £3,000 each so any help, however large or small, is GREATLY APPRECIATED :) 

We wanted to use this as an opportunity to support and raise funds for a charity that is very close to our hearts.

Our route  will take us across the island from Havana on the North coast to Trinidad on the South. We will be crossing the Escambray Mountains trekking  up and down step terrain through overgrown forests, coffee plantations, up to the Vegas Grande Falls before making our way down step terrain to Trinidad on the South Coast. During the trek we will be camping and will have no bathroom facilities for 7 days!! :( We will be trekking a total of around 80km over these days. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you all in advance! 

Team Cuba!
