Story

Recognition:

50 years ago, a special teacher, Lawrence Whitehouse (aka "Luigi") inspired a generation of students at Farnborough Grammar School (later becoming Farnborough Sixth Form College) and we are just three of these "Old Fernebergians". He remains an inspiration to us for many reasons and this walk is in recognition of the positive impact he had on so many lives and the fact that he was and is a thoroughly good bloke.

Our objectives:

To complete the Wainwright Coast To Coast Walk continuously within three weeks as a three-person team with a combined age of 203 years. We believe this will be the oldest known three person team to complete this challenge; and

To raise a target of at least £1,000 for Fix the Fells, a charity nominated by The Wainwright Society; The British Heart Foundation; and The Saracens Sports Foundation.

We are raising money for the British Heart Foundation and we'd be so grateful for your support. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like you that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help us hit our target. Thanks!
