My friend and ex colleague at the French International School, HK, Lily, has a son, Alfie, who is suffering with Aplastic Anaemia. The Pickney family moved from Hong Kong to Exeter (my home town :) to receive treatment and I would like to raise money for the AA charity and awareness of bone marrow donation in HK to help little Alfie and others with the condition.

I will be attempting to hike at least 50km of the Lantau Trail (inc the 2nd and 3rd highest mountains in HK) on January 29th and I would like to welcome colleagues and students at the French International School, Hong Kong as well as their friends and families to join the hike for as much or as little as they desire and to be sponsored for their efforts.
