Here at Walk For Purpose, we mainly do walks around London & the Home Counties and along the South East & West Coast.
We also plan trips to specific locations further afield around the country.
Whether it’s walking to raise money for good causes, to improve fitness , or enjoy our wonderful social walks, there’s a solid purpose to what we do.
Walk For Purpose Sponsored By Bio-charged UK.
Join us at the Thames Meander.

Marathon Start time – 8.30 am.
Half Marathon Start time – 9.00 am.
10km Start time – 9.00 am.
I am part of a team of friends and family looking to raise funds to support two courageous women, Emma and Genivieve, who are both LIVING with Stage 4 cancers.
They are embarking on integrative options to provide support to their bodies while receiving medical treatment to beat their cancers.
We have all agreed that it is important that we are not just raising funds for them to access these options, but also that friends and others concerned and/or interested can observe and learn from their process either for themselves, or, on behalf of their loved ones.
