If you have ever wanted to do an exhilarating
challenge for charity here is your chance.
We are looking for adventurous volunteers
to take part in a series of incredible open
challenge expeditions that take in some of
the world's most breathtakingly beautiful
landscapes.
Hadrian's Wall was built in AD122 on the orders of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, and stretched from the East to West coasts of Britain, from Bowness on Solway in the West to Wallsend in the East.
Organised as an open challenge by Global
Adventure Challenges, your 25 mile trek
takes you from Chollerford to Gisland, encompassing
some fascinating ruins. It is the most remarkable
Roman monument in the country, and quite
unique throughout the former Empire. Now
a UNESCO World Heritage Site - which cuts
through Northumberland National Park, Hadrian's
Wall attracts trekkers from all over, as
it offers great challenging walks, filled
with a stunning backdrop and history.
You can read the full itinerary here
and book online.
If you choose the fundraising option, you
must have the fundraising target with ERUK
8 weeks before departure. If you chose the
self funding option, there is no minimum
sponsorship target for you to reach, and
every penny you raise goes towards Epilepsy
Research UK.
If these dates do not suit, there are other
companies that provide the Hadrian's Wall
Trek.
By competing for Epilepsy Research UK you
will be helping to fund ground-breaking
research in the UK that will help change
the future for people with epilepsy. Every
project we fund is rigorously assessed by
a panel of experts to ensure it has the
potential to advance our understanding of
the condition and improvements in the treatment
of those with epilepsy.
There is no known cure for epilepsy
Over 30% of people with epilepsy have
seizures that do not respond to drug treatment
In over 60% of cases there is no known
cause
Every year 1,000 people die as a result
of epilepsy
You can help!
Every pound raised by you will increase
the amount of research we can fund.
We are here to support you every step of the way, and each runner will receive a fundraising pack full of ideas, sponsor forms and a personalised Epilepsy Research UK running vest for the race day. We also have fundraising materials available for all your needs, such as drinks mats, banner tape, balloons, pens, ribbon badges - you'll get a form to order what you need in your fundraising pack!
