2012 is the year to do something different, exhilarating and healthy - and support heart research!

Imagine trekking through Peru!

During this 12 day adventure you will hike through the Inca trail and see everything from dramatic canyons to ancient Incan burial tombs and be dazzled by the snow capped mountains, giant sand dunes, and brightly coloured tropical birds of picture-perfect Peru.

You will also be supporting medical research to help prevent heart disease and stroke.

To take part in this adventure, participants are required to raise funds to cover the cost of the trip and a donation to the Heart Research Centre. We are aiming to raise $50,000 from this amazing event! Participants are helped to reach their fundraising goal and the trip itself is both a reward and an achievement.
