Take on the Great Wall of China Trek for Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust
The Great Wall of China Trek is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, offering you the chance to explore one of the world’s most breathtaking and historic landmarks. Over eight unforgettable days, you’ll trek along ancient watchtowers, winding stone steps and rugged mountain paths — all while soaking up extraordinary scenery and rich cultural history.
Some days will be slow-going, with steep climbs, uneven stonework and long runs of steps that challenge the legs — including the famous 1,000 steps at Mutianyu and the impressive ‘Heavenly Ladder’. But with kind, encouraging support from your group and guides, each ascent becomes an achievable and rewarding milestone.
After completing the trek, you’ll have time to discover Beijing’s iconic sights — from the Forbidden City to Tiananmen Square — before celebrating your achievement together.
Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends or as part of a workplace team, this is a challenge that lifts your spirits as much as your fitness — and creates memories that last long after you return home.
And when you take on this challenge for the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, every step you take, and every pound you raise, helps us to continue our vital work.

How fundraising works
There are two simple ways to take on the Great Wall of China Trek, depending on how you’d like to fund your place and support the charity. Both options include a £250 Airport Tax and Fuel Surcharge Contribution.
Option One — Minimum Sponsorship (Charity Place)
This option keeps your upfront costs lower while raising vital funds for the charity.
Registration Fee: £349
Minimum Sponsorship Target: £3,250
Airport Tax & Fuel Surcharge Contribution: £250
Your charity place allows you to take on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure while making a significant impact on families navigating childhood cancer. A large portion of your fundraising helps cover your challenge costs, while the rest directly supports our work. We’ll support you warmly throughout your fundraising journey with ideas, encouragement and resources.
Option Two — Self-Funding
If you’d prefer not to commit to a fundraising target, this option allows you to cover the cost of the challenge yourself and then fundraise freely at any level you choose.
Registration Fee: £349
Self-Funding Balance: £1,625
Airport Tax & Fuel Surcharge Contribution: £250
There are no minimum fundraising requirements with this option — though we’d love you to raise what you can to help us continue our vital work, funding pivotal research, raising awareness of signs and symptoms and support children and families when they need it most.
