Gareth ran the Marathon De Sables (MDS) in 2025:
“So I’d like to say thank you because whilst completing MDS was my main goal, I set out to raise a massive amount of money for Chance for Childhood which proved harder than I thought and at one point I thought it was impossible. But with your endless support and generous donations, I didn’t give up!”
Ewan is a student from Exeter University who trekked to Machu Picchu in 2025:
“It’s an experience you don’t want to miss out on, the fundraising is fun, the trip is fun, and you’ll grow as a person. All while raising money for charity.”
