Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
We are a group of six 18 year olds planning to walk the width of Ireland to raise funds and awareness for Cancer Research UK. The 370km hike is forecast to take just over three weeks to complete; from Killadoon on the west coast, to Dublin on the east.
To add to the challenge, we will be flying a Cancer Research UK flag for the duration of the walk. This is to symbolise the millions of people who are affected by cancer each day, and have no choice over. We hope to also highlight the need for ongoing support towards this worthwhile charity.
Jan West, Coventry and Warwickshire area manager, says, "We are thrilled that these lads have chosen to support Cancer Research UK by organising this fun event. We are appealing to everyone at home to raise as much money as possible to support our charity and encourage Louis and friends by donating. Thanks to their innovation and people's generosity this will help to cure and treat local cancer patients."
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
The walk starts on 27th July, so please sponsor us now!
