David Tracey, Buzz Beds md has raised £11,114 for furnishing industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company by completing the 192-mile Coast to Coast trail.
It begins in St Bees, Cumbria and finishes Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire.
Tracey finished the walk in 16 days with 25,300ft of elevation, which translated to 487,000 steps and 14 pounds of weight loss.
‘I’m so grateful to everyone who has sponsored me and donated to The Furniture Makers’ Company, a charity close to my heart. The support really did inspire me to get the job done, through some very challenging days – thank you all. It was a wonderful experience, and we met some great people along the way, both on the walk and at the small family businesses that hosted us, fed us and in some cases helped us with our essential intake of hop infused water. I could not have undertaken and completed the journey without my dear friend Steve Atkinson, my constant companion for 16 days, whose positive can do attitude and, when needed, tough love got us both through to the end,’ he says.
