Support our incredible fundraising challenge!

We are setting off on our extreme challenge on Thursday 24 April 2025!

Myself (Trevor) and my partner (Melonie) are taking on an incredible 1,320-mile journey around 3 different countries!

We will be starting this extreme fundraising challenge on 24 April 2025 kicking off at the Camino de Santiago and aim to complete this challenge over four months.

We will travel to and traverse the Portuguese Camino before coming back to the UK and taking on four further walks across England and Scotland.

Myself and my American partner, Melonie, met while walking the Camino de Santiago just last year, and are determined to raise funds for RLSS UK. The charity is incredibly close to my heart after pulling a body out of the river ten years ago in a traumatic cold-water situation.

We were Initially planning to do the Appalachian Trail but, this was unfortunately cancelled due to irreparable damage along the track.  We have trained for five weeks in Florida starting in November last year, then returned to Scotland in January to continue intense training, including the West Highland Way.

We hope to at least reach our fundraising target of £2,000 so please donate what you can. Every donation counts and will make a significant difference.
