Forward Group’s Justine Goodwin Takes on the Avenue of Volcanoes Trek for Dementia Jersey

This November, Justine Goodwin will embark on an extraordinary challenge—the Avenue of Volcanoes Trek in Ecuador—to raise funds for Dementia Jersey. No stranger to adventure, Justine has previously conquered Mount Kilimanjaro in 2017 and Machu Picchu in 2019. Now, she’s stepping up once again for a cause that holds deep personal meaning.

A Trek with Purpose

Inspired by the impact of dementia on the families of those close to her, Justine is determined to support Dementia Jersey’s vital work. By taking on this demanding trek, she aims to raise both awareness and funds to assist those living with dementia and their caregivers.

The Avenue of Volcanoes Trek is a true test of endurance, featuring high-altitude hiking through Ecuador’s breathtaking yet challenging volcanic landscapes. It’s a perfect blend of Justine’s passion for adventure, personal challenges, and giving back to the community.

Training for the Challenge

Preparation is well underway, with Justine making the most of Jersey’s rugged coastline to build stamina. Taking advantage of recent crisp but clear weather, she completed a two-hour walk along St Ouen’s Bay from L’Etacq to La Pulente and back, followed by a demanding cliff path trek from Plemont to Greve de Lecq and back. These training sessions are essential in building the endurance and resilience she’ll need for the tough terrain of Ecuador.

How You Can Support Justine

As Justine gears up for this incredible challenge, she is calling on friends, colleagues, and the wider community to support her fundraising efforts. Every donation helps Dementia Jersey continue its invaluable work, providing support and resources to those affected by dementia.
