NASS has teamed up with Across the Divide to offer members, supporters, friends and families the chance to take part in some exciting events both in the UK and abroad raising money for NASS along the way. The great thing about these events is all money you raise goes straight to us with no share being taken by Across the Divide. They take care of the administration and we collect the money – simple!

OVERSEAS CHALLENGES
If you are feeling a little more adventurous you should consider taking part in an overseas event. Across the Divide have been running these events for many years and so are one of the leading operators for such challenges. These are a fantastic opportunity to see some of the world’s most breathtaking sites – and raise money for NASS at the same time.
NB NASS is only able to offer the self funding option rather than the minimum sponsorship option – participants will need to cover their own costs and raise money for NASS in addition to this.
The Great Wall of China Challenge
18-26 April 2010
The Great Wall of China is one of the most amazing sights you will ever see – 8,885 km long and the only man-made object that can be seen from space. Most tourists only see a small part of the wall but Across the Divide, as a result of their local contacts have managed to come up with a trek that covers a much vaster area, with the unique experience of camping in rural China.
