About the Challenge
Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic sights in South America, and the culmination of our magnificent Inca Trail trek through the Peruvian Andes. Join us as we trek this breathtakingly beautiful route through valleys and high passes, scattered with fascinating Inca ruins.
Trekking on Inca-paved paths and steps, our route takes us up through lush cloudforest to the demanding Dead Woman’s Pass (4200m). Continually climbing up or dropping down, our way is steep at times, and the altitude adds to the challenge. We finally come to the Sun Gate, which overlooks Machu Picchu, where your first magical glimpse provides an unforgettable reward for your efforts.
Permits for the Inca Trail are restricted and must be secured months in advance, so sign up in good time!
Dementia Jersey has run for over 10 years and supported thousands of islanders. We provide expert advice and support through our Dementia Advisors, a programme of brain training and re-orientation for those recently diagnosed with dementia and therapeutic workshops focused on art, music and swimming, for those further on in their journey. We also lobby government to stand up for the rights of people with dementia, raise awareness of how you can reduce your risk of developing the disease and educate people through a world-wide programme called Dementia Friends. Together all this work directly supports the community and combines towards our vision of creating a dementia friendly Jersey.
There are around 1,600 people with dementia in Jersey, and we further estimate 1 in every 10 islanders will have had some experience of supporting someone with symptoms.
Presently our annual costs are over £470K but with an ageing population and our charity being the sole charity to support those affected by dementia in Jersey, demand for our services is already growing, therefore help with funding is critical for our charity’s survival.
