About The Challenge

Date: Sat 18  - Sun 26 October 2025

Take on the challenge of a lifetime and trek the Great Wall of China in support of The Children's Air Ambulance 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 10 years, the Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA) has attended over 1000 missions.

 

The national service is changing the face of paediatric and neonatal care and works alongside 11 clinical partner teams across the UK providing a high-speed transfer service for critically ill babies and children - flying them from local hospitals to specialist paediatric and neonatal treatment centres. Our helicopters travel four times faster than a land ambulance, minimising travel risk for our young patients.

 

We receive no government or National Lottery funding for our lifesaving missions and rely entirely on voluntary donations to raise the £3,600 needed for every vital mission.
