Turtle Tracks Travels Charity Hike

We’re Gary & Denise from Turtle Tracks Travels, we’re in the UK and will be hiking The South Downs Way while visiting family. The hike is approx 160kms long and takes 8 to 10 days to complete (start date 11th August). We will be raising money for 2 charities, Macmillan Cancer Support and Make A Wish. We picked 2 charities that really make a difference in peoples life’s.

The first charity is Macmillan Cancer Support which offers free, confidential support to people living with cancer and their loved ones. This charity is close to our hearts as they supported Denise’s Nan and Grandad while her nan was suffering with cancer and Denise’s Mum and Dad, while Denise’s Mum had cancer and cancer treatment.

We picked Make A Wish because we feel really lucky to be able to travel, hike and 4WD, we know there’s less fortunate people that cannot and if we can make at least one wish come true, it will all be worth it.

We are originally from the UK but moved to Australia in 2006. We bought all the trappings (house etc) but decided to sell everything 3 and half years ago to travel. We’ve travelled all around Australia, including across 2 deserts. Next year we want to ship a vehicle to Indonesia and drive across the world, back to the UK.

We will also be donating any money we earn from these videos until the end of October. Any costs involved we will be paying for as we were going to do the hike anyway.
