The six-day trek takes places in the run up to the two-year anniversary of the Nepal earthquake. The team will visit Action Against Hunger’s programmes and meet families affected by the earthquakes.
Dan Doherty, executive chef at Duck & Waffle, will be part of the team and said: “The challenge we’re about to face is nothing in comparison to the daily challenge those in Nepal have gone through since the earthquake devastated their lives two years ago, and we’re hopeful the money raised will contribute to helping families rebuild their lives.”
