Scott Bulger, executive director at Epworth Medical Foundation, invited 4 gentlemen and 10 ladies to attend the event, as well as his daughter, Meghan Hadley.
It’s a real challenge to walk the Great Wall, one of the Seven Wonders in the world. Some parts of the Wall were really steep and struggling. It was warm even hot on the first and windy and cold on last day. Luckily the weather was beautiful and people enjoyed the changing scenery at different sections of the Wall. They completed a distance of 45 km on mountainous areas and celebrated with Great Wall wine at the end.
