Michael Hadwin | The Big Hike | 20km Along Hadrian's Wall | North East | North East England Cash for Kids

Story

Hi, I’m Michael — Paige’s husband (which means I’ve recruited her into this challenge whether she likes it or not!) and the Store Manager at Costa Pallion Drive Thru.

Instead of spending my day behind the counter serving great coffee, I’ll be swapping my work shoes for walking boots and taking on a 20km charity walk along Hadrian’s Wall. I’ll be doing it alongside my wife Paige and our colleague Liam, all to raise money for Cash for Kids North East.

Working for Costa, we’re lucky to be part of communities every day, and this is a great opportunity to give something back. Cash for Kids does amazing work supporting children and families across the North East, and we’re proud to be raising money to help make a difference.

The 20km walk will definitely be a challenge, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges some families face. Every donation, big or small, will go towards helping those who need it most.

If you’re able to sponsor us, it would mean a lot. And if not, a message of support will still help keep us going along the route!

Thanks so much for visiting my page — and fingers crossed for good walking weather on the day!
