The C. Hoare & Co. Charity Challenge in September is a 26-mile trail walk along the South Downs Way, between Falmer and Eastbourne.

My personal fundraising goal is £250 and it would be a wonderful contribution to make to the bank's charity of the year, MIND - the mental health charity. The near marathon route will provide a tough challenge as my colleagues and I look to raise as much money as possible.

The South Downs are an undulating range of chalk hills which flow through a mix of open farmland, hedgerows exposed ridges before finally reaching the spectacular chalk cliffs at Cuckmere, the infamous Seven Sisters and Beachy Head.

Thank you for any donation you can make!
