Story

Support Paul & Matt from Foilco (The Hornby Brothers) on their Trek to the Arctic Circle!

The Challenge Ahead:

Starting from Rovaniemi, Finland, our three-day trek into the Arctic Circle promises to push us to our limits. Battling the elements, each of us will haul our heavy kit through below-freezing temperatures, and spend nights under the stars in tents. The 40-mile route will undoubtedly test every ounce of mental and physical endurance!

We are taking on the challenge to raise vital funds for The Joshua Tree, a charity which supports families affected by childhood cancers. Their bespoke programmes of support extend to all families members and are available to families at every stage of a cancer diagnosis and beyond.

Their goal is to improve the mental and emotional wellbeing of individuals as they navigate through the traumatic journey of a cancer diagnosis. And once the bell has been hopefully rung, The Joshua Tree continues to support families as they come to terms with the new normal and support lifelong wellbeing.
