Emma and Gillian’s very long 100 miles, non-stop walking picnic fundraiser for Chameleon Buddies

Emma Garland is raising money for Chameleon Buddies

Rat Race 100 Ultramarathon [Bamburgh - Edinburgh] · 4 July 2026 to 6 July 2026 ·

We support women & girls in Eldoret, Kenya, who have stomas & continence issues following fistulas, many of which are as a result of prolonged childbirth. We send them stoma supplies as they do not have access to them. We want to set up a clinic.

Story

Gillian and I have always loved walking, we both love a challenge and we are very motivated by food! We’ve always wondered if we could walk 100 miles non-stop, now I guess we are going to find out-what could possible go wrong?! It’s just ten lots of 10 miles with plenty of picnics in between right?!

I’ve been watching what Chameleon Buddies have achieved since Gill Castle created it, Nell volunteered for her D of E and I have occasionally helped with stoma bag sorting (chief recycling monitor here!). It would be wonderful to turn really what is a selfish venture into one that raises money and awareness for Gill’s amazing charity-the way she has changed so many peoples lives is so inspiring to watch. So please help us to help her continue her awesome work.

And think of us on the 4th July moving all day, then all night, probably all day and hopefully not all night, as we journey from Bamburgh to Edinburgh (gulp!). We’ve just got to put one foot infront of the other right?

We are Fundraising to keep up their ongoing support in the UK and Kenya.
