I’ll be walking in memory of my Grandad and Grandma, who completed this very same route 25 years ago.
Sadly, we’ve since lost my Grandma, who was such an inspiration to me — always encouraging and guiding me as I prepare to take on this challenge on 14 Aug 2026.
She loved sharing stories and videos of their own Coast to Coast adventure, and her enthusiasm has been a huge part of what’s driven me to take this on.
As I walk, I know they’ll both be with me in spirit, watching over me on the 14th of August and keeping me going every step of the way.
This hike is more than just a physical challenge — it’s a tribute to them both, a way to retrace their footsteps, and a continuation of a cause I care deeply
about. I’ll be walking to raise awareness and funds for dementia research, helping to make a difference for others and their families
