Story

In Association with Skatefurther.com and HolidayExtras.com:

From the 4th - 7th of September, Gav and Mark, 2 web developers from Holiday Extras will be attempting to get back from Brighton to Canterbury in 4 days for the Alzheimer's Society. This WOULD be an easy task in a car or even on a bike, but they've decided to make life interesting by doing it on skateboards... and going the WRONG WAY. Gav and Mark will be heading out round the coast to Whitstable before cutting in to the home straight back to Canterbury, a journey totaling over 150 miles.


While you think of them, blistered and aching as they make their way along, take a moment to donate some money to their cause. Alzheimer's is a terrible debilitating disease that no one should have to suffer and everything we can do makes a difference.


Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.




At this moment, we would like to thank our employers, Holiday Extras, who are being amazingly supportive of this event and have really helped push us to finally get on the road. If you need extras to your holiday like airport parking, hotels or lounges check them out at Holiday Extras
