How it works
There are flexible options available to suit different preferences.
Most participants choose a minimum sponsorship option, where you pay a registration fee and commit to a fundraising target. This fundraising helps cover the cost of the trek while raising vital funds for Family Fund.
There are also part self-funded options available if you would prefer to contribute more towards the cost of the challenge and fundraise at a lower level.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll be fully supported throughout your journey, with guidance on fundraising, training, and preparation every step of the way.
Who can take part?
This challenge is open to anyone aged 18 and over with a good level of fitness and a sense of adventure.
You can sign up:
- As an individual
- With friends or family
- As part of a team with colleagues
Everyone taking part will be part of the wider Family Fund team, supporting each other every step of the way.
Taking part with others
Many people choose to take on the trek alongside others — whether that’s forming a team with colleagues, joining with friends, or meeting new people along the way.
If you are taking part through your workplace, we’d be happy to support with ideas, resources and ways to bring your team together.
