Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Kennet-Avon Canal Walk · 1 June 2025

Every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke. The Stroke Association is the leading charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families.

Story

Following my Thames Walk in 2023, I'm aiming to walk the Kennet and Avon Canal from Reading (where it connects with the Thames), to Bath (where it connects with the River Avon.

It's a distance of approximately 70 miles and I'm aiming to walk it in 7 days.

Once again I'm hoping to raise money for the Stroke Association.
