Who are we & why are we doing this?

We’re Helen and Fiona, two friends with a combined age of over 110 years. The Tour du Mont Blanc has been firmly on our bucket lists for a while now, and having spent plenty of time on the South West Coast Path, we felt it was time for a change of scenery – and 170km through the Alps, crossing three countries, with around 10,000m of ascent, is just the challenge we need! We knew that we wanted it to mean something beyond the walking itself, so we’re raising money for Hospiscare, a Devon-based charity providing end-of-life care to people and families who need it most. We’re glad you’re here – follow along for the build-up, the trail and whatever comes after.
