One of our colleagues on our karate journey with the SSKA, Julie Collins, a 4th kyu at the Caversham Club, run by Gary Leyshon, has also decided to undertake an additional journey. This time it is a little more scenic but fortunately not a never ending pursuit of perfection like Shotokan Karate.

Julie is trekking to Everest Base Camp (yes you did read that correctly) to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and in honour of her younger sister who sadly lost her battle with this dreadful disease.

It is worth noting that Julie has already completed 52 walking marathons over the years in her bid to raise funds. This is the first time she has created a “Just Giving” page to seek support for this eminently supportable cause.
