“Trekking with Acorns has given me a huge sense of personal achievement through getting fit and fundraising to help Acorns children. It was a bonus to meet a group of people who have become friends, shared a remarkable journey and have memories to treasure forever. I’d recommend it to anyone” Helena, Canadian Trek 2004.
