Fundraising Adventures
2018 Nepal Adventure Trek
Travel to Nepal – this was a perfect opportunity to travel with a group of like-minded people while raising funds to help the Laurel Palliative Care Foundation continue its vital work helping people with life-limiting illness and their families. It was truly a challenge, but reaffirmed to our trekkers, just how wonderful life is.
This 16-day trek through Nepal showed a stunningly beautiful country with its ancient culture and the Himalayas as a backdrop, landlocked and closed to the outside world until the 1950s. Raising over $50,000, our group of 16 brave trekkers enjoyed a variety of landscapes, incredible scenery, snow and climbed a mountain over 5000m high. What an adventure!
2016 Sri Lanka Bike Trek
Sri Lanka was our destination of choice this time around – once again, a group of brave adventurers travelled for 14 days around the exotic landscapes of Sri Lanka by bike, raising over $65,000 for the Foundation, helping to continue provision of our valued services.
2014 Cambodia Bike Trek
Connect Adventures organised 13 people to raise an AMAZING $68,000 for the Foundation to support end of life care before testing their strength and resilience on a 10-day cycling tour through Cambodia!
Thank you to each and every person who worked so hard to help families dealing with a life-limiting illness.
