Emily and Scott, long-time beneficiaries and now proud supporters of The Travers Foundation, are embracing the spirit of daring adventure and meaningful impact by taking on the exhilarating 60-Hour Hitchhike Challenge. With nothing but backpacks, cardboard signs, and determination, they’ll attempt to get as far away from Northamptonshire as possible in just 60 hours—without spending a single penny on transport. No pre-arranged lifts, no train tickets, just the kindness of strangers and the thrill of the unknown.

This epic journey is not only a test of resilience, creativity, and courage—it’s also a unique opportunity to spark conversations, build connections, and raise vital funds for young people supported by The Travers Foundation.

“We’re so excited to be part of The Travers Challenge and to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones for such an important cause,” shared Emily. “We’ve no idea where we’ll end up, but that’s all part of the adventure. Every lift, every mile, every moment counts—and we’re so grateful for everyone cheering us on.”

Scott added, “The Travers Challenge is all about finding your own way to make a difference. Whether you’re hiking, painting, baking, or hitchhiking across the continent—your effort matters.”
