Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In June 2012 my father in-law suddenly and unexpectively died of Heart disease at home. He was a bubbly character who loved his Family and enjoyed his Holidays and love of food, although he was not overweight. I am planning to Trek the 62 miles from London to Brighton in June 2013 in his memory non stop even walking throughout the Night. I will be joined by John, Darren, Colin and Martin.

I would really appreciate as many donations as possible as this is going to such a good cause In memory of John.

 

London to Brighton Trek

22 - 23 June 2013

 

Exhilarating. Exhausting. Challenging. Rewarding. Crazy!

If you're looking for the ultimate walking challenge then keep reading. You've got less than 30 hours to walk non-stop the 100km from London to Brighton.

And don’t be fooled by the familiar, cosy, London to Brighton tag either, because this Trek is no walk in the park. It really is pretty hardcore. Whether you're in a team or walking on your own there is no doubt your pre-event training will be the key to your success on this amazing trek. We know you can do it!

The Event

Our London to Brighton Trek is a total experience. Come rain or shine you just keep walking. Through the night, dark woods, shadowy roads and spooky lanes. All you’ll have to keep you going is your trusty head torch, the support of your team and the thought of your final goal, Brighton!

The trek is the ultimate team event. Ideally, trekkers should take part in a team, partly because of the testing nature of the event and the overnight sections of walking. But the real reason to take part with friends and family is the because of the huge sense of achievement you will feel when you cross the finish line together after walking through the day and night. If you don’t want to walk the entire route yourself you could always split the trek into sections and do a team relay!

No team, no problem!
Of course, if you are not part of a team you are still very welcome to join us. We'll support you all the way, and you can always join up with other walkers for the really tough bits.

We’ve specialised in the London to Brighton route for years with our famous bike ride. So you can be sure you’ll be in safe hands with this amazing event from start to finish.
