On the 5th November 2010 I will be leaving Cornwall to travel to Peru to trek for ten days along the famous Inca trail of Machu Picchu. I am doing this challenging trek to raise funds and awarenes for Cornwall hospice care so please view my blog and its contents including an insite into the Hospice and also a little bit regarding the trek itself. But most imprtantly please donate to this worthy cause.
I will also be updating my blog regularly with company donaters and my training. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me or donate at www.justgiving.com/jamiebills.
Thank you for viewing

Trained on Saturday 13th by walking from Camborne to St Day via Carn Brea castle, Carn Marth and Gwenap "pit". Two and a half hours and really felt good, even Monty the Dog was panting.

Cornwall hospice care - is an Independent Cornish charity who provide high quality specialist care to alleviate pain and distressing symptoms for people with life threatening illnesses, and to offer practical and emotional support to them and their families.
I know first hand of this after my Mother was diagnosed with Terminal Pancreatic cancer, the Hospice where in few words, amazing, helping my mother in the last few weeks of her life and also helping me and my brother with the situation, they never stopped helping and trully went above and beyond anyone else to help.
The annual cost of running the Cornwall hospice care is in excess of £5 million or around £11 per minute and with all Services free of charge to patients they rely heavily on donations and support from the general public so please help by donating atwww.justgiving.com/jamiebills
I live in Cornwall and have spent most of my life in or around St Day, I attended Redruth school where to be honest all I learnt was sport and maths. I now have a succesfull job, a loving partner in Lisa and a beautifull daughter called Issabella. I have one other love and that is for rugby for which I play and support St Day R.F.C. and also support the Cornish Pirates. If I could, I would aid anyone in need, that is what this Trek is about. so please donate.
