Four figures from the second charge industry are to trek 100km across the South Downs Way, Hampshire, to raise money for two charities.
Mortgage Brain’s Jonathan White, United Trust Bank’s Buster Tolfree, Norton Finance’s Paul Stringer and Fluent Money’s Paul Ford, are attempting to raise £4,000 for Oxfam and The Gurkha Welfare Trust by taking part in the 2018 Oxfam Trailwalker event.
The four fundraisers – named ‘The Second Chargers’ – will put their best feet forward on 13 July 2018 and will have 30 hours to complete the challenge. Individual and group training is underway and a 35km day/night team practice is scheduled for June in Derbyshire.
White said: “In November when we agreed to support the challenge, I realised we needed a strong team. Paul (F), Buster and Paul (S) had no hesitation in accepting this challenge, which didn’t surprise me. This really is a huge challenge for all of us, which requires exceptional planning and teamwork and we are thrilled to raise money for such a great cause.
“It’ll be a pure test of physical and mental strength for all of us but we’re determined to succeed, and achieve our target of raising £4,000 for the charities.”
