WALK WITH PURPOSE. LEAD WITH HEART.
Two young women never known to rest on their laurels, on the day after their final A-Level exams, Emily and Elena will set off on a week long, 100-mile charitable walk across the South Downs Way.
They will be walking for two very impactful charities close to their hearts - The Foundation Centre, an independent charity supporting cancer patients and Emerge Advocacy which brings critical support and a voice of hope to young people in crisis.
