Join Cavell Nurses' Trust in the Canadian Rockies!

At some point in our lives we all benefit from the amazing work and care of either a nurse, midwife or healthcare assistant. Sometimes, these caring individuals will also need looking after. They may find themselves in a position of financial and emotional hardship through illness, low income or domestic abuse. This is where the Cavell Nurses' Trust can step in to help them through difficult times.

We are looking for 100 individuals to join us for a fundraising week in the Canadian Rockies, filled with a choice of activities to suit you; ranging from rock climbing and mountain biking to kayaking and white water rafting, with the ultimate challenge: an ascent of Mount Edith Cavell! There is something for everyone!
Set yourself the ultimate challenge and join us for the experience of a lifetime!
