Inspired by the “Race across the World” TV series teams of two are invited to journey across Suffolk in two days. People will travel without smart mobile phones or bank cards.

Story

In July 2026, Kerrie and Gemma have somehow agreed to take part in “Race Across Suffolk” to raise money for the amazing Blossom Charity.

Inspired by *Race Across the World*, teams of two will attempt to make their way across Suffolk over two days… without smart phones, bank cards or Google Maps. Which honestly feels less like a challenge and more like being thrown back into 1997.

We’ll be given a cash budget, a basic mobile phone, a travel guide and the first destination point - after that, we’ll need to figure the rest out ourselves using clues along the way. There will also be challenges throughout the race, which feels slightly unfair considering our main challenge will probably be not arguing over directions.

Anyone who knows us will know this could go one of two ways:

* elite teamwork and strategic brilliance

or

* two tired women wandering around Suffolk asking strangers for help and surviving mainly on caffeine and panic.

Either way, it’s all for an incredible cause and we’re really proud to be taking part.

So please sponsor us if you can! Every donation will help support the fantastic work of Blossom Charity and will also motivate us to keep going when we inevitably hit the “whose idea was this?” stage somewhere around Day 2.

Thank you so much for the support - wish us luck… we’re absolutely going to need it. 🤣
