Supporting a 1,000 mile charity walker from Pevensey to Brighton, over two days. You do not have to walk all of each day. There are several points where you can join or leave the walk. See below.

No donations are specifically asked for, merely that we accompany Karl on his pilgrimage around the southeast of England to raise funds. In his words “My wife, Carly, sadly passed in June 2017 from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). In 2018, we established the Carli Lansley Foundation in her memory, and we fund free ECG screenings for young people (aged 14-35) to help detect undiagnosed heart conditions.”

If you can find the time for all or part of this walk. Please join us and support Karl.
