A Walk in the Park for The Inform Team
Following on from the success of the 2018 challenge: Walk the Line, the Inform Team are planning their next challenge.
We’re putting our best foot forward again for our Inform Team Challenge, 2019: A Walk in the Park this September.
Seventeen miles through six London parks in (hopefully!) six hours – all to raise money for Northern Lights Children’s Charity. We’ll walk through Regent’s Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park, St James’ Park and Victoria Embankment Gardens.
Our team is a mixed bunch and from across the UK. Some of us are fit and healthy, some limited by health conditions, but we’ll pull together as a team and make it. Partly because one thing we have in common is that we’re extremely proud of our colleague, Karen Jones, who’s walking with us.
Karen is Chairperson and one of the founders of the amazing Northern Lights Children’s Charity. Who have been supporting young people and their families since 1987. Karen was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year honours in 2018 for services to children with life-limiting illnesses. Her close involvement makes our challenge extra special.

Why Northern Lights Children’s Charity
Northern Lights Children’s Charity takes children, aged six to 11, with life-limiting illnesses to Lapland on a very special holiday to meet Father Christmas. Medical staff and social workers nominate the children identifying those children most in need or likely to benefit.
This amazing experience gives children a positive goal to look forward to, a break from their treatment and an escape from being seen as sick. The holiday helps them to grow in confidence, rebuild their self-esteem and social skills, and reduce their anxiety. After the holiday, the children are more independent and eager to take part in other activities.
Our team is excited to be able to get together in person, take on a challenge, and help some deserving children to have a memorable and life-changing Christmas experience in Lapland.
If can support us and give a child this amazing experience, please donate on our sponsorship page.
