Group to take on gruelling Hadrian's Wall challenge in memory of three boys 'taken far too soon'

Family and friends of three boys who were "taken far too soon" are taking on a gruelling Hadrian's Wall challenge walking 90 miles in just five days in their memory.

The group begins their walk along the route of Hadrian's Wall on Wednesday (June 29) and will finish up on Sunday (July 3) camping along the way. They hope to raise vital funds and much-needed awareness for two charities; Ethan's Arc and The Charlie and Carter Foundation.

Ethan Adams from South Shields was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma - a rare type of cancer that forms in soft tissue but despite going through chemotherapy and radiation there were no further treatment options available. Tragically Ethan lost his life in August 2021, just a week after his 9th birthday with his parents setting up Ethan's Arc in his memory.
