In 2026, the team at Smith Bros will be fundraising for The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation again with an incredible challenge in The Peak District.

The Challenge

Smith Bros will be taking on a 27.5 mile hiking trail in the heart of The Peak District.

The route is the first major walking trail dedicated to linking the Peak District's two 'halves', across terrain ranging from meadows, woods and farmland to wild moorland and gritstone edges, going from Bakewell to Hope. The route includes Monsal Head, Cressbrook Dale, Litton, Eyam, Stanage Edge and Win Hill.

The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation

The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the UK’s food allergy charity, was launched in 2019 by Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse in memory of their 15-year-old daughter Natasha, who tragically died from a severe allergic reaction to sesame. Natasha's death highlighted the urgent need for better allergy awareness and clearer labelling of allergens for people with life-threatening food allergies.

Through campaigning, education and research, Natasha Foundation's mission is to #MakeAllergyHistory, in particular food allergy, and improve the lives of the millions of people in the UK living with food allergies.

The charity is the only allergy charity dedicated to medical research. They want to understand what is causing the dramatic rise in allergic disease- and develop ways to prevent, treat and ultimately eradicate it.
