Laura’s story
Why Our Girl Laura is Taking on the Himalayas!
For her big 50th birthday, she's taking on her biggest challenge yet: walking the Himalayas!
Following her Great North Run at 30 and the Great Wall of China at 40, this trek is a major personal milestone. This time, though, it’s about more than just the climb.
She's doing it to honour her incredible late husband, James, and to raise money for Macmillan, who gave them such amazing support. She’s hiking with a heart full of love, resilience, and gratitude—plus, she's got our crew (Kirsten, Deb, and Traysi) right there with her.
It's a huge emotional journey and a testament to how she keeps saying "yes" to life. Let’s cheer her on!

Four Friends and a Himalayan Adventure
It’s Deb, Kirsten, Laura, and Traysi here, ready to kick off our epic trek through the stunning foothills of the Himalayas from McLeod Ganj. Our bags are packed, our spirits are high, and we’re swapping comfort for camping under the stars—and maybe a few chilly nights!
Why are we doing this, you ask? We’re not just in it for the selfies and sore muscles. We’re trekking to fundraise for two incredible causes—Macmillan Cancer Support and the British Heart Foundation. These charities are close to our hearts, having supported our loved ones through tough times.
Join us for this adventure! We’ll be sharing laughter, triumphs, and a heap of stories as we navigate new heights (probably some missteps too). Your support keeps us going strong, and every donation makes a huge difference.
Here’s to friendship, adventure, and making an impact—one adventurous step at a time. Stay tuned for the next instalment! Cheers from the Himalayas! 🌄
