Essential Feature Culcheth Woman Undertakes Challenge of a Lifetime to Support Girlguiding Justine Doyle is preparing for the challenge of a lifetime to raise funds for Girlguiding. Justine who is a Guiding leader with 3rd Culcheth (Newchurch) Guides is trekking to Machu Picchu over 4200 meters high in the Andes. The trip will take place from 18-25 October and Justine will be joined by over 25 other Girlguiding members and supporters. The challenging trek will take in the well known landmarks Dead Women’s Pass and the Sun Gate. Justine has decided to take on this challenge for Girlguiding because, having three daughters aged 14, 9 and 7, all of whom have experienced the opportunities which Girlguiding offers, felt it right to help give those opportunities to other girls and young women. Justine is most looking forward to returning to Peru this time as a trekker.” I visited Peru on business several times when I worked for Vimto but didn’t have the opportunity to see Machu Picchu. The 3 day trek covering 26 miles will be the biggest challenge for me but I have no doubt that the sight at the end of it will make it all worth while!” 52 Justine is aiming to raise £4,000 for Girlguiding to support her in their fundraising please visit https://www. justgiving.com/Justine-Doyle. The money raised by Justine could support 50 disabled girls and young women to attend a camp with their friends, along with their carer or buddy, through our Fund for Members with Disabilities. Girlguiding is the largest volunteerled charity for girls and young women across the United Kingdom. Without the generosity of our supporters such as Justine and the dedication of 100,000 trained volunteer adult Leaders, we would not be able to provide great opportunities and new experiences to our young members. Amongst the other challenges Girlguiding supporters are taking on are the London Marathon and a cycle ride of over 500 miles from Ho Chi Minh City to Angkor Wat taking in the sights of Vietnam and Cambodia. The money raised by these supporters will allow more girls and young women to experience the adventure that Girlguiding has to offer.
