Whether you have been affected by meningitis, know someone who has, want to get fit or see picturesque places - this is the perfect chance. The 18-mile walk, on Saturday, June 22, takes in counties Londonderry and Antrim, starting in Coleraine and ending at beautiful Ballycastle on the coast.
Highlights include fantastic mountains and green scenery and the Causeway Coast - all the while fundraisers will be fighting the deadly disease. It marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of 18-year-old Michael Clarke, of Derry, to meningitis, just before getting his A Level results.
