Countdown to Walk!
Why walk in memory for someone you care about?
Damian Lo Cascio - moved profoundly by tragedy after losing his partner Natalie suddenly at age 37, he has committed himself to join others in making a difference by fighting for every heartbeat and supporting those that could avert the tragedy of losing a loved one.
28th August to the 31st August 2026
Walk in Memory in support of the British Heart Foundation.
Join us to circumnavigate the
Isle of Wight coastal path
We meet in Southampton on Friday morning and board the ferry on Red Funnel. We walk anti-clockwise around the island using the coastal path. However, this does change from year to year due to erosion and there are often detours around these landslides.
A beautiful journey approx 90 miles in three days.
A challenge, and one we have enjoyed, making wonderful memories with specatacular scenery, enjoying time with the walkers while raising awareness and funds for The British Heart Foundation's lifesaving research.
Corporate Sponsors required!
