🚶‍♂️ Virtual Land’s End to John O’Groats Challenge Update

All Saints Church, Kesgrave took on an exciting challenge to help raise funds for a vital cause.

On 21st March, we set off on a virtual walk from Land’s End to John O’Groats — a total of 870 miles to be completed in just four weeks. A team of 18 walkers combined their miles to reach this goal, all in aid of replacing our church heating system, which is no longer working.

The final cost is still unknown, but it is expected to be more than £50,000, so we have a big task ahead of us.

The official four weeks came to an end on Saturday 18th April, and what an amazing journey it has been. We reached John O’Groats in just two weeks and four days, which meant we were able to begin our virtual journey back towards Kesgrave. Although we did not quite make it all the way back by the end of the challenge, together we covered an incredible 1,200 miles in total.

Through our JustGiving page, we have so far raised £1,070, along with receiving many kind and encouraging messages from supporters. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, cheered us on, and supported us throughout this challenge. Your generosity and encouragement have meant so much.

You are all incredible!

As we reflect on what has been achieved together, we are reminded of the words:

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:13

With Him by our side, even the longest journeys become possible.
