Womens Great Walk of China becomes an International Great Walk!

"Alternative treks in Cuba, Thailand, Tanzania and Peru organised for Karen Churches, Sian Everingham and Bristol Orthopaedic Clinic Patients Josie Lawrence and Marie Hanley"

The challenge in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer started at Yumenguan in the Gobi Desert and was due to finish 4,000kms and just over 200 days later at the Shanhaiguan Pass on the east coast where the Great Wall meets the Yellow Sea. Unfortunately the SARS virus caused the itinerary to be amended, but Karen and Josie have not given up and will not be defeated. They have vowed to return to China as soon as the Chinese authorities permit them.

In the meantime, Karen, Josie and Sian will continue trekking wherever their feet take them and what started out as the Women's Great Walk of China has now momentarily become known as the Women's Great Walk.

Charity Challenge has organised alternative treks in Cuba, Peru, Mexico, Thailand, and Tanzania to ensure that Karen, Josie, Sian and all the women that have registered to join the Women’s Great Walk of China can continue to walk and raise funds and awareness for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
