Leigh on Sea Striders are proud to have organised numerous charity challenges over the last 20 years and in doing so have raised over £400,000 for some amazing causes.

In June 2022, in the beauty of the Lake District a team of 60 committed people will be taking on our toughest challenge yet. The team will be trekking 100 kilometers including 19,000 feet of ascent and taking in England’s highest - Helvellyn, Scafell Pike and Skiddaw. We do so in the lasting memory of our dear LOSS friend Stephanie Simpson, who tragically lost her life in 2020

The team are inspired to battle through this challenge to raise money for the James Patterson Memorial Fund at CRY (Cardiac risk in the young) and fund a heart screening day for 100 people in the Southend area. In 80% of cases of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) there are no prior symptoms of a heart defect. The frequency of YSCD can be dramatically reduced by making heart screening available to all young people between the ages of 14 and 35.

The team are hoping to raise £10,000 and welcome any donation no matter how big or small. All money raised will go to a very worthwhile charity in what is a very tough time. 

Please indicate if your donation is for a certain member of the team or the whole group.

Thank you so much for supporting us and making a difference.
