Story

In august I’m gonna be walking from coast to coast walking solo (maybe with a stranger if they fancy doing it with me, or coming along for a few miles on route) and wild camping along the way I’m planning on completing this in 6-8 days mid august time. You all know mental health is a big thing at the moment and long May that continue!! 


So I plan on walking from St.bees Cumbria on the west coast to robin hoods bay east coast. This path will be tricky and both mental and physically demanding! I hope to be hitting around 30+ miles a day and hope to finish it in 6 days maybe upto 8 depending on weather etc….. 


The charity I’m looking to raise money for is papyrus uk they’re a charity to help young people who want to take their own lives. So it’s something that really means something to me! The money raised will be put into the pot for Lads Advice charity pot (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chazandgavsmashkilli )

which is close to £15k as we speak and we’re looking to get to £20k (not necessarily from just this fund raiser) so if any of you could spare a pound it would be much appreciated! (I’ll confirm the date in a week or two) it’s gonna be blood, sweat and hopefully no tears! I’ll be carrying all my food and water etc! So will be strenuous to say the least for a not so fit man! 😂 I’m either crazy or stupid (maybe a lil bit of both) but it’s for a very good cause! So if you could please donate I know times are hard but god forbid it’s a charity that you may need one day
