Today the group finally left for the St John’s Hospice India Trek 2024!
There were mixed emotions as we left after 21 months of planning and fundraising. Tears because of missing families, smiles and excitement that we are finally on the way!
Thanks to the catering staff at the hospice for the fab bacon buns and to fundraising for the brews, all the support and herding and getting us all on the bus on time!
The coach ride was uneventful- but lots of chatter, trekkers meeting their room and tent mates, swapping stories of why they are doing the trek and what this means to them. It’s clear that the care the hospice gives is the biggest motivator for the team.
Lots of questions from others on the flight, asking why there was a number of us are in the same green hoodies – and a lot of respect and support to us all! It was really encouraging.
After a few hours stop over at Dubai, then we will arrive in Delhi at 7am on Friday morning. We will update you all after a freshen up and a few hours in the city.
