Story

On 20 June 2026, Darren and Steve are tackling a 50km non-stop march up the North Yorkshire coast, on a mission to help those coping with dementia.

They’re taking on this ultramarathon distance to raise funds for Dementia Forward - a local charity helping those impacted by dementia to find their way to diagnosis, care and community support.

It’s a growing societal challenge and familiar to them both, having lost family members to the condition.

Darren has never completed this distance on foot before, and the only time Steve did, he lost two toenails!

So if you can muster up a pound or two to help ease their path (and their joints) as they attempt to reach their £750 target, it would be greatly appreciated.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Donations go direct to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
