Joshua King raises £198 for Kids Inspire

At the end of July 2011, 15 year old Joshua King of Chelmsford went on a two day hike to raise money for Kids Inspire.

Joshua is a keen Air Cadet and as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award decided to combine raising money in conjunction with an expedition.

He hiked for 18 miles carrying all his supplies and shelter, camped overnight then hiked back again. Joshua encouraged friends and family to sponsor him and raised an amazing £198.

He chose Kids Inspire as the beneficiary as a way of thanking them for their support they gave him in the past. Joshua's family and the staff at Kids Inspire are very proud of his achievements. "It is an amazing feeling being able to help other people and very satisfying to think that I have achieved what I set out to do" said Joshua.
