Hi Everyone,
It’s Connie here!
I am currently a serving Police Officer of South Wales Police & a Royal Navy Reservist at HMS Cambria, Cardiff.
In March 2025, I am taking on the challenge of hiking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
The trip will take place on the 08/03/2025 - 22/03/2024.
Mount Everest is one of the most revered and legendary, natural wonders of the world. Not only will I be ticking this trip off my bucket list, by seeing this mountain up close at Basecamp. I will be raising money for charity!!
The hike which is a two week trip, will lead me over suspension bridges, a glacier and into the heart of the warm rugged Sherpa culture. I will reach Basecamp at 5,364m (over 3.5 miles!) to the base of the world's tallest mountain. During the trip I will be hiking 3-8 hours a day over various terrains, whilst also acclimatising to the reduced oxygen levels.
Whilst taking on this challenge I’d like to raise money for the following charities, the British Heart Foundation, Velindre Cancer Centre & Woody’s Lodge.
I am personally paying for the trip and my own expenses myself!! So 100% of the money raised will be going directly to the charities!
So all contribution to my chosen charities will be greatly appreciated ♥️
