Walk the Wall

In April you will have the opportunity to take part in a VIRTUAL CHALLENGE on The Great Wall of China and raise money for the Breast Cancer Charity, Coppafeel!

In February 2025 Kate Udall, aged 36, was diagnosed with Triple Negative, Grade 3 breast cancer. This type of breast cancer is aggressive, but early detection saved her life. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy were tough, but twelve months on, she had a 'complete response' to treatment and the future is positive.

In September, Kate will trek 100km in just five days on the Great Wall of China. The trek is organised by CoppaFeel, a breast cancer awareness charity. Kate found the support from Coppafeel invaluable. 

The trek will follow the winding path along the Yan Mountains to the Gubeikou Gateway and take on the famous ‘heavenly staircase’.

Kate’s aim is to raise £4,000 and by entering the Walk the Wall Virtual Challenge, you will play a big part in helping her reach that target.

Your virtual challenge can take place anywhere in the world and you have the whole of April to get to the finish.

Starting from your front door, when you go for a walk, use your wheelchair, jog, run, push the baby buggy or take your dog for some exercise you can log the distance covered on a virtual map and track your progress along one of the Wonders of the World.

With four distances to choose from, there is a virtual challenge for nearly everyone… 

• 15 miles
• 30 miles
• 60 miles
• 100 miles

The entry fee of just £9.95 covers the event and a downloadable finisher certificate unique to the virtual challenges.

You’ll be able to track your and other participants progress as the markers move along a virtual map of the great Wall of China. You also have the opportunity to add photographs, updates, share your progress with others and personalise your marker on the map.

You can enter the virtual challenge from March 1st and Walk the Wall from April 1st to the 30th.

Don’t worry if this isn’t your thing, but you would like to help. Here is the link to Kate’s JustGiving page…
