A group of hikers are hoping to raise in excess of £5,000 as a result of their challenge to walk 230 miles from Newmarket to North Yorkshire.<\/p>\n
Kevin Knights is leading a team of ten people on the hike, which will be completed over 12 days and will be in aid of military charity Help for Heroes, reports the Newmarket Journal.<\/p>\n
The group has already managed to secure more than £2,600 in donations for their gruelling trek, and they hope to double that before it takes place on Sunday (May 19th).<\/p>\n
"We are hoping to raise a minimum of £500 per person. Our training is going well and the team is in place, but now we need more sponsors because we hope to raise £5,000," explained Mr Knights.<\/p>\n
The walkers will be camping on each night of their journey and a support van will shadow their movements to carry their kit and supplies.
