Eastbourne charity supporters take on 100km challenge - and you can join
St Wilfrid’s Hospice are calling on people to join its 100km hike to raise money.
The Eastbourne-based charity is calling for people to join supporters in doing the Camino de Santiago next year. The trek is 100km and it will be in in the northwest region of Spain, within the Galician countryside.
The walk will start on the May 8 and will last until May 15. Events manager at the hospice, Beth Hillier said: “This is the second time we've held the trek and its popularity is ever-increasing because of the truly wonderful experience people have walking the Camino. We are running two trips next year. Week one is full and we are now filling the last few places for week two. We would love a few more people to join us, and our team will support you all the way in reaching your fundraising target.”
A spokesperson for the hospice also added: “For Julie, the Camino de Santiago is more than just a trek.
“Having supported St Wilfrid's Hospice for over 15 years, she has seen the difference hospice care makes to local families.
“Now Julie is taking on a new challenge, walking the final 100km of the Camino de Santiago in May 2027.
"I think I'll discover things about myself on the way round. It'll be quite a journey physically, but also inside."
Could you follow in Julie's footsteps?
