	Hi Angie, thanks for the reply...my sister is now a (semi) healthy 22 year old so she is fine. I want to give something back for everything we have now :) I'm only going to be back from aa week before the trek and then I'll be back here the week after, crazy scheduling but that' te way it has to be. I've got a just giving page and I'm selling it lie crazy, facebook, texts etc and now I have posters in my home town. Keeping my fingers crossed!

	Hello everyone, I have registered to do the trek for Marie Curie Cancer Care and really looking forward to it. I have been training for a while, however mainly road running, so I am not sure how the legs will cope with mountains! Is any one going to the meet and greet in Kensington this weekend? Has anyone taken out the insurance offered, or did you book your own? Take care everyone and hope to see you soon.

	Hi, I am doing the China Trek for Kidney Research. I have struggled for the past four weeks to do any training due to two extremely hot holidays (a Nile cruise for my 50th was one!). I did try to do as much walking as possible, but the heat was up to 50 degs on some days. I did climb Helvellyn just over a month ago, which is a great one to do as it is a real uphill slog (some mountains can be quite gently - but this one starts from the minute you get to the base!!!) I am based in Preston, Lancs. and would love to do the Snowdon climb (have been up it several times years ago, but afraid I always cheated and used the train!). Because of my trips - one I only got back from yesterday, I can't make the London meeting, and as I am doing this on my own would love to meet up with anyone before the trip. Because of fundraising, I too have only just looked at training schedules, kit lists, visas, etc. so realise I really have my work cut out. Walking isn't a problem as I can and do walk quite long distances - I just need to sort out a training programme for all those steps!!! I have annual insurance with my bank, so need to check with them on Monday that I am covered for this trip. Look forward to hearing from anyone

	hi angela, nice to hear from you! Im also hoping to do Snowdon, but probably have to wait for a good day if we are gonna get any more summer lol It does seem diffucult to train using steps as the steps round here are all same size and I believe that on the wall, they all vary? But maybe uphill will help to strengthen legs and knees, well that what I hope! maybe if you want to meet up one weekend if not busy fund-raising, we cud go up snowdon or another BIG mountain? Hope to hear from you soon Angie (was ishtar3762 but had to re-register)
