From the 4th - 7th of September, Gav and Mark, 2 web developers from Holiday Extras will be attempting to get back from Brighton to Canterbury in 4 days for the Alzheimer's Society. This WOULD be an easy task in a car or even on a bike, but they've decided to make life interesting by doing it on skateboards... and going the WRONG WAY. Gav and Mark will be heading out round the coast to Whitstable before cutting in to the home straight back to Canterbury, a journey totaling over 150 miles.
While you think of them, blistered and aching as they make their way along, take a moment to donate some money to their cause. Alzheimer's is a terrible debilitating disease that no one should have to suffer and everything we can do makes a difference.

Gav has been skateboarding for nearly 10 years. In his spare time he runs Longboard Sessions, an internet community to help other skaters meet up and shred hills. Apart from skateboarding he is a big fan of PIE, BEER and helping people.
Although Mark has only been longboarding for one year, he is certainly
no stranger to skating. Getting his first pair of quads at the age of 13
he was already an accomplished roller skater. After roller skating the bath to
bristol longboard charity skate in 2008 he was converted and attended the following year on 4 wheels. So
enthused with his new board, he did it twice covering 36 miles!
