Story

Matt and Donna are walking (and a bit of running) the distance of Germany's Romantic Road throughout the first half of 2022 - that's 268 miles, to be precise - to raise funds for Sharewear. That will be roughly 10 miles per week for six months. 

Last year we walked the distance of the Camino de Santiago over 12 months, which was a huge challenge. We only just managed this, even with the additional time given to us by the various lockdowns that happened throughout our challenge. 

We anticipate 2022 being a much busier year for us both personally and professionally, and so taking on any challenge this year is a big ask. But if there's anyone who's going to be busier than us this year, it's everyone at Sharewear. 

2022 is a HUGE year for Sharewear. It will be our first year operating from our brand new National Processing and Distribution Centre, which will see us massively change and expand the way in which we work on a national scale. We're taking on new and exciting partnerships with big-name brands and other organisations nationwide, and are always exploring innovative ways to expand our reach to maximise our impact as an organisation. Sounds like a lot, right?

Well as you can imagine, every single penny we receive in donations at Sharewear truly makes a world of difference. We are not a large charity - we never have been and probably never will be. But that doesn't stop us doing big things with incredibly limited resources, and so your support always makes an instant impact to someone's life. 

We're initially hoping to raise at least £2 for every mile walked. Please help us achieve this! 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.

About the charity
