Story

This August, a group of us will be attempting to to complete a “Coast to Coast Walk”. This involves walking from Wallsend to Solway Firth along Hadrians Wall. This is 87 miles in 3 days so will mean walking at least a Marathon each day!

We have previously completed difficult challenges such as an “Overnight Channel Swim” and the “The Three Peaks Challenge” but this will likely be our toughest to date!

We will be raising money for the New Hope Children's Centre, which is a facility dedicated to rescuing and raising orphaned children and abandoned babies in Uplands, Kenya. This year we are looking to pay for some essentials. We want to raise enough to provide basics like blankets, plates, cups and cooking pots and most importantly food and formula milk for babies as the global cost of living crisis impacts.

I have set a fairly ambitious target at £500 but any donations of any amount will be much appreciated. Thank you for your support!
