The route will take in the stunning local countryside following paths and trails through Redhill Common and Priory Park before heading to the halfway support stop at Moon Hall School and on to Earlswood Lakes before returning to the YMCA.
The support stop halfway along the route near Moon Hall School will serve hot and cold drinks and snacks to refresh you for the rest of your walk. On arrival back at the YMCA, there will be a BBQ where we can carry on sharing memories and celebrating Kim’s life.

Fundraise for us to transform young lives in East Surrey!
There is no fundraising target for this event, however we ask that you consider fundraising to support our Life Change Fund, which was set up by Kim, to help transform young lives in East Surrey. In 2024, this fund is supporting our projects fro young, homeless people. We are aiming to raise £100k through 2024 challenge events towards refurbishment and furniture for our newest semi-independent housing property in Redhill. Help us to make this new property a home for young people by setting up a fundraising page or making a donation.
If you prefer the more traditional method of fundraising, please download an official sponsorship form.
