South Downs Way Hike 2025

South Downs Way Hike: 28th June - 5th July 2025
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
This year, we are taking on the South Downs Way, a stunning 100-mile National Trail which runs from Winchester to Eastbourne,
We are doing this over 8 days, roughly 12.5 miles each day. We have accommodation booked at 4 Pub's and B&B, but also 3 night at camp sites which means we will be carrying all our camping gear as we go!
We are doing this. not just for the challenge, but also for a cause close to our hearts.
In 2018, Chris was diagnosed with Hairy Cell Leukaemia—a moment that changed our lives. Thanks to incredible medical care from the NHS, the support of loved ones, he was given the all-clear in May 2019.
2025 marks 6 years in remission, so we wanted to celebrate this milestone by doing something memorable.
We are hiking to raise money for Leukaemia Care, a charity that provides essential support to us, and continues to provide support to patients and their families facing similar battles . Their work is vital in ensuring no one goes through this journey alone.
If you’d like to support our journey and help Leukaemia Care continue their incredible work, please consider donating. Together, we can make a real impact.
💙 Thank you so much for your support!
