Following our successful walk last year from Derby to Blackpool, we have developed a new plan whilst working with Simon Evans (DCHC Trustee) to raise funds for the Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre (DCHC) via a JustGiving page.
Both Xavier and I are passionate about this charity which has meant so much to me since I was a child. Our aim with the 'Who Knew Walk' is to raise awareness of the numerous Derbyshire towns where the charity engages with disadvantaged children and who are able to enjoy a holiday at our home in Skegness.
The walk will start on Tuesday 7th July and complete on Saturday 11th July. It will take us from Glossop to Buxton; Buxton to Bakewell and onto Chesterfield; Chesterfield to Alfreton and onto Belper; Belper to Kilburn, Heanor, Ilkeston then to Spondon and into Derby before our final leg from Derby to Melbourne, Ticknall before finishing in Swadlincote.
Lewis caught up with them during the walk.
