"An Epic Journey for a Worthy Cause"

On September 1st 2024, Steve and Simon will embark on an extraordinary challenge to become the first people to foil around Britain. This remarkable journey is not just a test of endurance and skill but also a heartfelt tribute to Simon's brother, Mark, who lost his battle with cancer. In Mark's memory, Steve and Simon aim to raise £10,000 for Cancer Research, supporting vital work in finding a cure and improving the lives of those affected by this devastating disease.

The Challenge

Foiling is a new and thrilling watersport, where participants ride on a board lifted above the water by a hydrofoil. Steve and Simon's ambitious goal is to navigate the entire coastline of Britain, facing unpredictable weather, treacherous waters, and the physical demands of such an extensive journey. Their determination and spirit symbolize the fight against cancer, mirroring the strength and perseverance needed to overcome the disease.
