Every step taken along the 13.1 mile route will raise money to provide vital support such as: access and participation scholarships and bursaries, hardship funding, IT equipment, food supplies, course materials, books and much more.

Donations will go towards our mission of making higher education accessible to those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, including those fleeing war and conflict around the world and on our very doorstep in the North-East where, in some neighbourhoods, only 12% of pupils progress to higher education.

We don't want any student to miss out on what makes belonging to Newcastle University so special. Your support will help change the trajectory of a young person’s life.
