Joshua, 16, to walk 40 miles for Saint Catherine’s Hospice
In Spring 2026, Joshua Wilson, 16, will set out from Scarborough railway station towards York Minster.
Joshua is planning to complete the gruellling 40-mile journey in just one day.
He is doing this to raise money for Saint Catherine's Hospice and has set up a GoFundMe page to raise £270.
So far he has accrued £260 thanks to 19 donations and is in touching distance of his target.
Joshua said: “I have chosen this journey and route to many personal reasons, but the main one is to shine a light on hard work and effort of Saint Catherine's, which is not recognised as much as it should be in our local community.
“They do an amazing job and care for us daily and operates thanks to donations, meaning they can only do what they do with our help.
“I have chosen the 40-mile Scarborough to York route in memory of my uncle, who also walked the same route for a charity he believed deserved more recognition and love from the local communities. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet him personally.
“I am aiming to raise £270 pounds for Saint Catherine's Hospice, 100% of the donations will go to the charity!”
