Lauren and Tim will be walking more than a marathon a day to complete the Thames Path Challenge, raising vital funds for RNLI Portishead, which was forced to close during the Summer due to lockdown.

Lauren and Tim, who both live in Portishead, will be taking up the challenge of walking the entire length of the River Thames in record time. They will start their walk at the source of the Thames in Kemble and follow it until the Thames Barrier in London. The challenge will start on Friday 25th September and, by walking more than a marathon distance of 42km a day, will finish on Thursday 1st October. They are completing this gruelling endurance event to raise money for RNLI Portishead and hope to raise the equivalent that the shop would make in a week to show their respect for the volunteers that keep the station running.
