About The Challenge

Dates: Sat 18  - Sun 26 October 2025

Take on the challenge of a lifetime and trek the Great Wall of China in support of The Air Ambulance Service in 2025.

Appropriately named one of the ‘New Wonders of the World, the Great Wall of China is a thrilling challenge of ups, downs, twists and turns. With 10,000 deliberately uneven steps, this trip will challenge even the most dedicated trekker. Exhaustion will quickly vanish however, as you are rewarded with sweeping views over the vast mountain ranges.

Sign up fee: £350
Minimum fundraising target: £3,345

Help Us Save Lives

Over the past 20 years, The Air Ambulance Service (TAAS) has attended over 50,000 missions.


We fly two local air ambulance services – Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA). Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day and can be on the ground within minutes, delivering lifesaving care to give patients the very best chance of survival and recovery.


We receive no government or National Lottery funding for our lifesaving missions and rely entirely on voluntary donations to raise the £2,300 needed for every mission.
