EVENT DETAILS

Date: Friday, 14th July 2023

Will you put your best foot forward for mental health? We're inviting our supporters to join us on a unique night-time walk to raise funds for Teesside-based mental health charities.

This year, we are teaming up with The Headlight Project for our Walk into the Light event.

The walk was inspired by our charity Trustees Bill Scott of Wilton Engineering and Alisdair Beveridge of the Build Directory two years ago. The first joint walk was held at Middleton in Teesdale in 2021: however, due to increasing numbers we held separate walks in 2022. For our 2023 walk, we have joined forces once again, and we now have 100 spaces available (50 walkers for each charity).

At 11pm on Friday 14^th July, we will start a 12-mile walk that will finish as the sun comes up. Our beautiful moonlight trek will take us from the beautiful Cod Beck reservoir, through pine forests, along ancient trails and onto part of the historic Cleveland Way route. The route is on established trails and is ably led by Mountain Leaders and a support team from overlimits (formerly Kuta Outdoors)

Of course, a more significant challenge than the walk will be some fundraising to help us support mental health charities on Teesside.

There is a £30 entry for the walk, and we ask participants to raise £200 in sponsorship.
