My Story

Many of our supporters requested that we organised a walk or trek of some kind and in response to this we organised a 21 mile challenge walk back in 2020 to coincide with our 21st Anniversary. Unfortunately, this was postponed because of the pandemic but 2 years later we are delighted to once again bring this event back.

Starting in the village of Long Compton in Warwickshire, close to the border of Oxfordshire, our walkers will set out on a journey along part of Shakespeare's Way that will challenge and test their endurance.

This is a sponsored walk with a difference bringing together people of all ages and abilities. It’s not all about the challenge but also to promote the benefits of walking for wellbeing and good mental health. Walking and physical activity can help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older people in particular. The 21 Mile Challenge Walk is the perfect way for people to join together on a memorable journey whilst supporting The Shakespeare Hospice. The walk from Long Compton to Stratford will provide a wonderful finale to my challenge as I start out from The Globe Theatre on London's south bank ten days earlier and walk the Shakespeare's Way for 122 miles before joining the final day on Sunday May 8th. In supporting the Hospice I recall how two wonderful ladies from the Hospice at Home Service were the last carers to attend my mother prior to her passing in March 2018.
