Mark and Tony raise £3,266.84 to support unpaid carers across the UK.

In July, our very own Mark and Tony set off on an incredible challenge, walking the full length of Hadrian’s Wall. The route stretches 84 miles across the north of England, from coast to coast, and is steeped in history and dramatic scenery. It was a test of endurance, determination, and resilience, and both Mark and Tony pushed themselves to complete the journey.

What began as a personal challenge quickly grew into something much bigger. With the support of colleagues, suppliers, friends, and family, the walk became a fundraiser for Carers UK, a charity that provides essential help to the millions of unpaid carers across the country. These are people who dedicate their time and energy to supporting loved ones, often putting their own lives and wellbeing second. The work of Carers UK ensures that they have advice, a sense of community, and the representation they deserve.

We are delighted to share that the final amount raised for Carers UK stands at an incredible £3,266.84. This achievement reflects the generosity and kindness of everyone who got behind Mark and Tony’s walk. Every single donation, whether large or small, has contributed to making a real difference and helping Carers UK continue their vital mission.

The journey itself was not without its challenges. The weather was unpredictable, the miles long, and the days tiring, but Mark and Tony pressed on and carried with them the motivation that came from knowing so many people were cheering them on. Along the way they shared updates, photos, and reflections, reminding us all of the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and community spirit.

This fundraiser has been a true collective effort, and it would not have been possible without the support of so many people. Colleagues encouraged and championed the walk, suppliers and partners gave generously, and friends and families spread the word. The result has been more than just a financial contribution; it has been a demonstration of unity and care.

As we bring this challenge to a close, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Mark and Tony in reaching both the finish line of Hadrian’s Wall and the fundraising milestone. Their determination, combined with the generosity of our community, has created something we can all be proud of.

Although the walk is now complete, the impact will carry on, as the money raised helps Carers UK to continue their invaluable work. At Sontay, we are proud to have supported such an important cause, and we look forward to future opportunities where we can come together again to make a positive difference.
