Ben and Kellie Trek through Machu Picchu to Raise Funds for Dementia Jersey Charity
Get ready to be swept away by an adventure of epic proportions as we share the incredible tale of our very own employee, Ben, and his fearless fiancé, Kellie. They're gearing up to take on the mighty Inca Trail in Peru, and trust us, it's no ordinary stroll in the park, to raise money for Dementia Jersey.
Picture this: Ben and Kellie, armed with backpacks stuffed with gear, setting off on an audacious expedition that spans 25 miles along the jaw-dropping Andes mountains. Four days of exhilarating hiking, camping under the stars, and rubbing shoulders with around 20 fellow adventurers.
Here is the map of their walking route…
As they forge ahead, their destination gleams like a beacon of wonder—Machu Picchu! This awe-inspiring ancient Incan city, tucked away amidst the clouds, is like something out of a dream. Built-in 1438 and discovered only in 1911 (talk about an epic surprise!), it's a treasure trove of mystical temples and jaw-dropping mountain views that will make your heart do a little happy dance. Just a quick Google image search will have you itching to tag along!
Ben and Kellie aren't just taking on this adventure for the sheer thrill of it (although that's definitely a big part). They're passionate about supporting Dementia Jersey. With loved ones affected by dementia, this causes tugs at their heartstrings. Every step they take, every ounce of sweat they shed, and every pound they raise will directly support those battling this condition. Talk about turning their journey into a powerful force for good!
