The pink coffin treckers made it!
They arrived at Everest Base camp on Easter Sunday and they are now on the way back.
Some pictures have been posted on Pink Coffin Trek to Everest Base Camp
There is still time to donate on the site if you haven't done so already as they are still a little short of their revised target of £20, 000

Kudos

I guess there's not really a lot the rest of us armchair inhabitants can say.

Well maybe there is .........

This is such a good cause, we just lost a close family friend to MND last week so it kind of brought it all close again.

20K ?......... dig deep people , as those people say "Every little helps"

They are due back on monday. If anyone would like to give just a fiver then that might mean we can break thier £20k before they get back.

Thankyou to everyone who has already contributed. Liz has been overwealmed by the generosity of YD-ers, especially those who never even met Chris.

He has now been away for a year and continues to be sadly missed.
