Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We're preparing to tackle this long distance trail run over 6 days, mostly running, but walking and jeffing occasionally. We haven't run anywhere like this far in one week before so it's going to be a tough challenge!

We both feel passionate about the work of Linking Lives Eastbourne. Mary is personally involved by helping to train and match up volunteers from local churches with lonely or socially isolated elderly people, so has seen the huge benefit befriending can have. Referrals into the scheme are primarily by medical and social care professionals. Linking Lives Eastbourne is part of a much wider national and government focus on ending loneliness throughout the U.K.
