Malvern Hills end to end walk - 10.5 Miles for Smiles

On the Saturday of August bank holiday 2018, our son Zac, left the house in the morning and went up on the Malvern Hills where he ended his life. This August will be 8 years since we had that dreadful knock on the door, the pain and grief haven’t diminished.
Please join us on our summer fundraiser, walking end to end over the Malvern Hills, walking 10.5 miles over 15 ridges. While we raise funds for our small charity Behind the Sm:le.
This year, we’re taking on the full Malvern Hills end to end walk, over 15 ridges; with breathtaking views and over 6000ft of elevation gain. — a demanding but deeply meaningful challenge — in memory of Zac Pritchard.
Zac’s life and spirit inspired the creation of Behind The Smile, a suicide prevention charity dedicated to raising awareness, breaking stigma, and supporting those struggling with mental health challenges. Every step is for those we’ve lost and those still fighting.
We’re inviting friends, families, and supporters to join us — whether by taking part in the walk or by donating to Behind The Smile — to make a real difference in supporting people's mental health, those bereaved and affected by suicide, with the aim in preventing suicide.
We will be supported by fully qualified mountain leaders and a mini bus will follow us along the route, in case of injury or if anyone wants to stop part way, the bus will take us all back to the start to pick up our vehicles for the home journey.
