On the 11th September, Spencer and I will set off on a 12 day hike, covering 212 miles, from the Irish sea on the West coast of England, to the North Sea on the East coast, raising money and awareness for a range of charities who provide research, respite and recovery for disabilities both visible and hidden and both physical and mental.

From mountains to moorland we'll be navigating our way across the country, discussing our own personal experiences with disability whilst also listening to the stories of others, from charity ambassadors to authors , from army veterans to seven-time world record holders.

By challenging ourselves, and through the stories shared, we also hope to challenge the stereotypes, stigmas and silence that often surround both physical and mental health.

We hope you'll support us in our endeavour, and if you'd like to get involved in some way, shape or form, please email us at contact@twotwelve.co.uk.
