In April Marie Hollywood will be flying to Luckla (Nepal) to start on the trek to the Everest base camp which will be going via Kathmandu. It will take 10 days including breaks to get used to the climate and the increasing height.

Marie is doing this in memory of her much loved brother Brendan who suffered badly with depression who despite his mental ill health was a good looking bright and attractive man. Also this is to highlight how many people at some time in their lives go through the feelings of isolation and desperation of depression. 1 in 4 people in our community goes through it.

The money Marie raises from sponsorship will be divided between Merton Mind which provides services for people with mental health problems and Cricket green school for children and young people with special educational needs. Anyone who wants to sponsor can do it via Justgiving. This is her website
