Beats walking!

In a world destined for doom and gloom unless someone picks up the tab for Mother Nature, it’s time to get physical and help one another for a change. Two skaters that want to help raise awareness, and also as much money as possible for the good cause, are Sam Benson and Jay Duggard.

In July, they will embark on a 3000km longboard trek that will take them from Barnstaple in North Devon to Santander in Spain, passing by Marseille, Paris, Barcelona and other continental cities. The trek will raise money for the Lowe Syndrome Trust, Link Community Development and Sailability Australia.

Sam and Jay have started a blog which they update regularly, but will also get updated daily during their travels. Show your support and check out their site: www.bwboardfree.co.uk
