Hi,
I will be taking park in the 'A Coventry Way' challenge on Sunday 26th April 2026. This will be easily the longest walk I've ever attempted, at no less than 41.9miles in total! In doing this challenge, I felt that this would be a great opportunity to gain some sponsorship for a good cause. It is impossible not to be inspired by the incredible work being done to find new treatments for children's cancers, which is why I would like to ask for just a small amount of money towards the 'Pass The Smile For Ben' campaign (more details below). Hopefully taking part in this challenge might in turn help those who are so deserving of our support.
'A Coventry Way' is a 40mile circular walk around the wider Coventry area, taking in places like Meriden, Kenilworth, Brinklow, and Bedworth across lots of interesting terrains and sights, including HS2 construction works, historic railways, golf courses, many many farms, lots of sheep and newborn spring lambs, wildlife reserves, former quarries, coal mining legacies, water courses, and much more I'm sure to find out!
Many thanks in advance for your kindness in supporting me and in supporting this charity. Over £300,000 has already been raised for 'Pass The Smile For Ben', to help raise funds for research into rhabdomyosarcoma and supportive care. Ben passed away only one year after being diagnosed with cancer. He wanted to start Pass The Smile to make other people happy, even whilst enduring intensive treatment.
