A Grafham man and his friend raised more than £2,000 for charity by walking 60km in just under 13 hours as part of the Jurassic Coast Challenge. 

Andrew and James completed the fundraiser for the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children, and the money will go towards supporting vulnerable children and families. 

The trek began at Corfe Castle and continued to Swanage, Lulworth Cove, and Durdle Door, before continuing onward to the Weymouth finish line.

The whole walk has a 1,700m of elevation making it a tough route to complete in just under 13 hours in total.

Andrew, head of procurement at Bright Horizons, who fundraised as part of the ‘100 Your Way’ campaign, said: “My aim was to achieve 100,000 steps.

 “This has been my second Ultra event, in May 2022 I took on the Isle of Wight challenge, this was a continuous walk where I completed a total of 106km in 24 hours.

 “I am proud to have completed this challenge with my friend James and raising money for the Foundation which makes such a positive impact on young lives.”
