Sam's Himalayan Trek

Sam's latest tour is a bit of a departure and may not involve much in the way of performance. In October 2010 Sam will be donning a serious pair of walking boots and leaving the comfort of home life for a charity fundraising trek through the Himalayan foothills.

Sam will be fulfilling a long-held ambition by participating in the Teenage Cancer Trust Sikkim Trek in an Indian Buddhist protectorate between eastern Nepal and Bhutan. Over seven days they'll be climbing to a height of 4800m, similar to Mont Blanc, and will be within sight of the five peaks of Kangchenjunga, the world's third highest moutain.

If you'd consider sponsoring her, Sam would be ever so grateful: Just head over to her sponsorship webpage, read her new blog and even leave her a little message. Sam has long supported the Teenage Cancer Trust (who fund and build specialist cancer units for young people in British hospitals) and has performed at several of their annual fundraising concerts at the Albert Hall.
