Kevin and Ben are setting themselves a challenge to take on the full length of the Offa’s Dyke footpath to raise money for charity. The Offa’s Dyke path is a 177 mile(285km) long trail that follows a spectacular Dyke that King Offa ordered to be constructed in the eighth century to divide his Kingdom then known as Mercia from rival Kingdoms in what is now Wales.

The trail connects the coastal town of Prestatyn on the shores of the Irish sea to Sedbury Cliffs near Chepstow, on the banks of the Severn estuary. It passes through eight different counties and crosses the border between England and

Wales more than twenty times.

On average the footpath is completed in 14 days, but Kevin and Ben are looking to halve this at least.

All money raised will be in aid of Welsh Children's Cancer Charity LATCH. LATCH supports children and their families who are being treated by the Oncology unit at the Children's Hospital of Wales, whose catchment area stretches from Chepstow in the South to Aberystwyth in the North. LATCH supports around 120 children across South Wales at any one time. Sadly, that number has recently risen to 135 children and families that are being supported by LATCH.

Do you want to join us in making a difference? We are raising money in aid of LATCH and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
