160 Miles for Mental Health UK

At the end of March, we'll be heading to Nepal for 2 weeks to complete an 80-mile trek up to Everest Base Camp. We then return home, so that Simon, Matt, Olivia and Helena can complete the Brighton Marathon/ Brighton 10K with Friends and Family on 7th April!


This is going to be a huge challenge for us all, but we are determined to complete it to honour the memory of the beautiful, Kirsty, and to raise crucial funds for Mental Health UK by tackling over 100 miles in distance and approx. 3000m in elevation within 2 weeks.


Please consider supporting our fundraiser by donating and sharing our cause. No matter how small, your donation will directly contribute to Mental Health UK's vital work in supporting those in need!


We then decided to take on the Lake District with an 100km Ultra Challenge, walking continuously with the aim of completing 100km in 30hrs!

100km Ultra Challenge

Yesterday we took on the challenge of 100km, continuously!! We started the challenge at 9am Saturday morning, and planned to complete 100km through the Lake District walking continuously 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

The final leg of the journey - Brighton Marathon

It was a beautiful sunny day, and the atmosphere was heroic! We're so proud of Matt and Simon completed the full marathon. Well done lads 🏅 Due to a severe sickness bug, Olivia gave it her best shot but had to pull out at the half way point. Regardless it was an amazing day and we're so proud of everyone! 👏

We made it!

After reaching our final stop at Gorak Shep, we then had a 2.5hr walk up to Everest Base Camp! It was a hard trek up with lots of traffic and big boulders to climb over, but so worth it 😍

First leg of the journey!
