A fully guided five-night trip to remember

Thurs 17 - Tues 22 May 2012

Price: Approx £400 plus flights and sponsorship.
Situated just off the coast of Crete, the small island of Spinalonga was used as a leprosy colony from 1903 until 1957. Our trip will also include a visit to Knossos, the centre of the ancient Minoan civilisation. Your Cretan adventure will end with a challenging 10-mile sponsored walk through the spectacular Samaria Gorge. There will be an alternative reduced walk for the not-so-fit.
So come along!                                                                                                     more

Trek for Treatment with The Leprosy Mission

The Leprosy Mission's hospital in Nepal is in the hills at Anandaban, 12km outside Kathmandu.   It is a lifeline to people affected by leprosy and the wider community living in the scattered rural mountain areas all over Nepal. Many patients come to the hospital after having travelled for days.  Anandaban provides essential treatment to these patients.

The truly unique element of the Trek for Treatment is that you see the work which is the fundraising focus of the Trek.  You have a tour of the hospital's departments, see its essential work first-hand and meet the patients.

"I saw many stunning and amazing sights in Nepal but seeing the work at the hospital and the dedication of those involved, will command my long lasting respect and admiration."

So why not join us on the 2012 Nepal Trek and experience it all for yourself while helping us to improve the lives of leprosy-affected and disabled people in Nepal?                                                                                                                 more
