All funds raised will be split between Headway Sussex, which helps people with brain injuries, and The Sussex Snowdrop Trust, which provides care for children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.

Donations can be made at https://www.justgiving.com/team/cowan-architects-2024.

After the walking challenge, six members of Cowan Architects will then take on the South Coast Challenge and walk 100 kilometres through the night.

Three more team members will then tackle the first half South Coast Challenge. This involves walking 57 kilometres with a steep 1,250 metre climb.

David Callin, managing director at Cowan Architects, said: "We're incredibly passionate about supporting these two organisations that make a significant difference in the lives of people in our community.

"Headway Sussex provides vital support to individuals with acquired brain injuries and their families, while The Sussex Snowdrop Trust offers essential care for children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses."
