Carlisle & District Rambling & Fellwalking Club
Charity Events
Dear Carlisle Fellwalking Club,
In May 2014, to raise funds and awareness for gynaecological cancers, The Eve Appeal will be hosting Trekathon; a 26 mile walk along Hadrian’s Wall to be completed in just one day. I am writing to you today in the hope that you might be able to forward some information onto your members to help promote it.
Today in the UK 53 women will be diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer and 21 women will die. Despite this, it is not a well-funded cause and awareness of gynaecological cancer is very low;
The Eve Appeal are determined to change this. On 10th May, people
from all over the UK will be uniting at Hadrian’s Wall to walk for the thousands of women,and their families, affected by gynaecological cancer every year.
I have attached a poster to this email for you, which I’m hoping you will be able to forward on to your member, with more details about Trekathon and how to register to take part. If you would like more posters then please don’t hesitate to call 020 7605 0106 or email events@eveappeal.org.uk.
If you are unable to display the poster but know somewhere else it can be put up, I would really appreciate it if you could pass it on. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Many thanks,
Mianca Mejia

Good afternoon,
We have an exciting walk happening up and around Scarfell Pike in June 2014 and wondered it would be possible to advertise the attached poster to your lovely walking group? We are a small but mighty charity raising money to support young scientist on their quest to find a cure for leukaemia, and help like this is invaluable to our marketing.
Merry Christmas.
Camilla

To whom it may concern,
My name is Henrietta Knight and I work at Childreach International. Childreach International is an award winning international charity that works to unlock children’s potential worldwide by helping children learn in a good school, stay healthy and, most importantly keep safe. To date, we’ve reached out to 600,000 marginalised children throughout the developing world.
As a charity our main fundraising stream is Challenge Events. Last year alone, we sent out over 1,300 participants to do amazing things in support of our work; from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to trekking Machu Picchu to hiking along the Great Wall of China. With this many people participating annually, we are the market leaders in charity challenge events and fundraising support.
I thought that members of Carlisle and District Ramblers and Fellwalkers would be interested in doing one of these challenge events for a great cause. Trek Machu Picchu runs for 16 days including 6 days of independent travel and will take you from the bustling colonial town of Cuzco, through quiet Salkantay mountain tracks in the shadows of the High Andes, to visit a modern wonder of the world and a UNESCO heritage site, Machu Picchu. During the 6-day trek, you will discover varying eco-systems and climates before your final step into history - arriving at the ancient ruined city of Machu Picchu at sunrise. Participants will also have the option to extend their stay in Peru and South America to travel independently and discover local culture and custom. Each challenge offers something slightly different, so there’s great variety for people.
Below is a brief outline of costs and what is included, but there is more information on our website:
- Registration Fee: £195
- Fundraising target: £2950 (flights included) or £1950 (you organise your own flights)
- Food, accommodation, in-country travel, guides
It would be great to speak with you about this in more detail and see if it might be something members of Carlisle and District Ramblers and Fellwalkers would be interested in doing. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
