On Saturday 26 May I will be joining a team of 12 colleagues from The Pensions Regulator to take part in the London to Brighton Challenge, a 100-km day / night walk. It starts in Richmond, where I live, and ends in Brighton, where TPR is based, crossing both North and South Downs along the way, finishing some 25 to 30 hours later sometime on Sunday 27 May. You can see details of the walk, the route we will take and the charities supported by following the following link: https://www.london2brightonchallenge.com/the-challenge/the-route.

As is customary, I have chosen to raise money for one charity, Mind, which campaigns for better mental health. Other members of the team will raise money for a variety of other charities, both national and local.

This is the first time I have done such a Charity Challenge and I would really appreciate it if you could make a donation on this occasion. But rest assured that, even if I survive (and enjoy!) the ordeal, I will not be making a habit of asking for similar donation in the future!
