Guernsey duo to walk 63 miles for Down Syndrome charity
A Guernsey duo are planning to walk 63 miles in aid of a local charity.
Simon Kent and Jen Bradshaw are taking on the challenge to raise money for the Guernsey Down Syndrome group.
Simon's nine-year-old son, Louis, has Down Syndrome and the family have been supported by the group over the years.
Simon and Jen are keen walkers, but 63 miles is further than either have attempted before. They have called the challenge the '321 walk' to symbolise the fact that people with Down Syndrome have a third copy of the 21st chromosome.
The route starts at St Martin's Community Centre and ends at the fairy ring at Pleinmont. The duo will complete 21 miles route three times to complete the '321' challenge.
The Guernsey Down Syndrome Group say they are thrilled and will be cheering them on, on World Down Syndrome Day (21 March) when they hope to complete the challenge.
