Previous Hikes for Hope

2010 - Kerala, India
 Our fourth Hike for Hope challenge was an amazing five-day trek in one of India’s most stunning locations. Leading the way was top urologist, Professor Roger Kirby, Chairman of Prostate UK, and leading obstetrician and gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, a trustee of Wellbeing of Women. Over the past three challenges, hikers have raised more than £1.2 million to stop prostate and gynaecological cancers ruining lives. The five-day trek (9 day adventure) took place in the region of Kerala on the south west coast of India tucked between the mountainous Western Ghats and the Lakshadweep Sea. Trekkers had the opportunity to explore an enchanting landscape of forest, tea estates, cardamom plantations, paddy fields and palm trees, and they camped overnight in picturesque mountain locations.

 
2009 - Sinai Desert Challenge
The Sinai Desert Challenge was the third Hike for Hope - previous treks in Jordan and Kenya have raised nearly £1million to stop prostate and gynaecological cancers ruining lives. Our intrepid hikers returned from the Sinai at the end of March, raising thousands of pounds for the charity, it was also a fantastic experience for those who took part.

Caroline Devaney, who is a member of our London Events Committee, is also a dedicated Hike for Hoper and has taken part in 3 hikes. She talks here about her experience on the most recent trek

2007 - Rift Valley, Kenya
At the end of November, 92 sponsored hikers set off to trek the Rift Valley in Kenya, raising funds for medical research into gynaecological and prostate cancers. Wellbeing of Women trustee and Royal gynaecologist, Marcus Setchell, was amongst those hiking through the rugged terrain. He was joined by patients, doctors and nurses and others that been affected by gynaecological or prostate cancers. Participants were hiking at altitudes of 2700 metres for 25km per day over the Rift Valley's extinct volcanoes. We would like to thank all those who participated in this year's Hike for Hope. Over £500,000 has been raised so far. These funds will allow Wellbeing of Women to invest in further medical research into gynaecological cancers.
