Thirteen volunteers have taken on and completed the iconic Hadrian’s Wall Walk to raise money for Band of Builders (BoB).
The team tackled the 84-mile trek from Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria on the west coast, adding on a few miles along the way to hit a total of 90 miles across four days.
The Hadrian’s Wall team included a group of eight volunteers from DEWALT and four volunteers from Talasey, who joined the group for one day of the challenge.
So far, the group has raised just over £20,000 to go to future projects helping tradespeople in their hour of need.
Martin O’Donnell, fundraising coordinator at Band of Builders, led the team on the challenge. He said: “Most people take on Hadrian’s Wall across six or seven days, so to complete it in four days was no mean feat.
“We had plenty of highs and lows along the way, but everyone agreed that blisters, injuries and long days are worth it to do our bit to help others when they need it. There’s still time to sponsor us as we aim to make this the biggest fundraiser from BoB to date.”
