My Story

I'll be taking up a personal challenge that I've wanted to do for a long time, walking from Scotland to England. I'll start at John O'Groats and I'll finish at Darlington & District Samaritan Branch. A distance of 440 miles.

I'll start the walk on the 1st May and finish by the end of the same month. I'll not take the most direct route as I'm visiting a few Samaritan Branches on the way.

The walk will be unsupported, I shall carry what I need.

I'm also doing this to raise vital funds for Darlington & District Samaritans. Samaritans vision is that fewer people die by suicide. The mission is to make sure there's someone there for anyone who needs someone, to give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. Samaritans also campaign to make suicide prevention a national and local priority. They make changes that save lives.

If you can give something to this fundraising adventure it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Chris
