Doinit for Charity

 

This summer we have two challenges planned, Climbinit and Hikinit. These trips are entirely self funded so 100% of all donations will go to the selected good cause.




Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders) is an independent humanitarian medical aid organisation. They are committed to providing medical aid where it is most needed, regardless of race, religion, politics or gender and also to raising awareness of the plight of the people we help. www.msf.org.uk

Their aim is to ensure more people survive cancer. The term 'cancer’ actually refers to more than 200 diseases that all involve the uncontrolled, abnormal growth of cells, which makes their vision of beating cancer a complex challenge. Sadly, more than one in three of us will get cancer at some point. It’s vital that they continue their research so that many more lives can be saved. www.cancerresearchuk.org

Latest Press Release: A DIFFERENT KIND OF THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE


Hikinit - Outer Hebrides, Scotland




August 11th - 20th: Crossing the Outer Hebrides –The longitudinal nature of this island chain make it a great challenge to cross on foot, yet it’s astonishing that no official long distance footpath exists. Whilst plenty of short Km paths around these islands exist most visitors concentrate themselves in focal areas. Very few set themselves the feat taking in the whole chain. Stunning scenery and loads of wildlife awaits those who try bridging these islands. The few small settlements will provide an insight in to a unique way of life here which has frontier feel about it. The expected hike will start at one of the main southern settlements of Barra and end at administrative capital of Stornoway some 140 miles later. A trip to St Kilda on the extremities of the UK, and whose population was evacuated in the 1930’s is also on the cards as part of this challenge.


 

Once we’ve completed these challenges we will of course publish the relevant articles in the appropriate sections of this website.
