Join us for our Beat the Blues walk, a 10km walk (or run!) through the beautiful Epping Forest, on the border of East London and Essex. It’s the perfect way to shake off the winter blues, enjoy some fresh air, and do something amazing for a good cause. During a short half way stop at The King’s Oak in High Beach, you’ll be able to get a hand-warming hot chocolate and chat with Lennox staff.
Whether you take it on solo, with friends, family, or your four-legged companion, this is your chance to get outside, move your body, and make a real difference. Every step you take helps children and families facing childhood cancer.
