Matt's fundraiser for SWALLOW

Matt Walker is raising money for SWALLOW

56k at 56 · 19 September 2025

SWALLOW Charity is user-led and supports over 170 teenagers and adults with learning disabilities in and around Bath & North East Somerset, providing a range of services and opportunities to empower people to live life to the full.

Story

After a brutal 12 months of illness, an operation, recovery and loss it is time to get moving again and do something good. Long distance runs are not an option at the moment so a walk will have to do. On the 19th of September, my 56th birthday, I will walk 56km from Frome (where I got engaged 23 years ago at a Wurzels gig) to my local pub in North Somerset. Any money you donate will go towards supporting teenagers and adults with learning disabilities. And, if you want to join me for a pint at the George, Backwell when I'm finished, please do. I should get there between 7-9pm.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
