Along the way, you’ll take in some of London’s most iconic sights, including the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Barbican, Shakespeare’s Globe, the London Eye and Big Ben. 

Whether you’re walking with friends, family or colleagues, this is a challenge designed to be enjoyed by everyone. Our helpful team will be on hand throughout the day to provide support, guidance and encouragement, helping you feel confident from the moment you arrive until you cross the finish line.

Your steps will help change lives 

Across the world, people with deafblindness can face barriers to healthcare, education, employment and independence. Sense International works with partners to ensure people with deafblindness have the support, skills and opportunities they need to live more independent lives. Stride for Sense International will help raise vital funds so we can continue to make sure that no person with deafblindness is left behind. 

By taking part, you’ll help fund programmes that enable children and adults with deafblindness to communicate, learn and thrive. 

We’ll support you every step of the way 

From signing up to crossing the finish line, our team will be here to help you prepare for your challenge. 

We’ll provide:
