'Walking in memory of two wonderful people': Friends trek from Braunston to Buckingham Palace

George Kelly, Connor Slasberg, Will Sheridan and Nathan Kelly are lacing up their walking shoes for The Grand Union Ramble next month.

They hope to reach their destination in four days and will donate funds to Myton Hospice and Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

Sponsors Bechtle and Envisage Promotions helped the friends choose the charities.

Justin Edhouse, who worked for Bechtle, died just before Christmas. Justin’s friends and colleagues said he ‘left a smile on every face he encountered’.

Envisage Promotions selected Myton Hospice as their charity of choice in memory Diane Friswell, a friend of the business who passed away in July.

Diane and her family received support and counselling from the hospice during her illness.

George, who lives in Rugby, said: “We hope you can get behind us as we embark on another amazing adventure.”

The walk takes place from September 19-22.
