Thames Bridges Trek for Young Epilepsy
On 12 September 2026, the Carrington team will be taking on the almighty 25km Thames Bridges Trek Ultra Challenge to raise money for our Charity of the Year, Young Epilepsy.
We’d love your support in helping us reach our fundraising goal!

Every donation, big or small, will help us get closer to our target and support the fantastic work Young Epilepsy does for young people and their families from diagnosis through to navigating the challenges of daily life providing vital support, education and resources to help young people with epilepsy build confidence and live life to the fullest.
It’s going to be a challenging walk. We will be crisscrossing our way over the Thames, taking in 16 of London’s iconic bridges; however, it is all for a very worthwhile cause. The charity was nominated by Olivia, who, having experienced epilepsy herself during childhood, knows the value and support this charity can offer young people living with epilepsy.

Our involvement with Young Epilepsy has also given us the opportunity to see the charity’s work first-hand beyond the fundraising…
Oly presenting to the delegates at The Shard.
Last week Oly and Olivia were invited to attend and present at a careers fair organised by Young Epilepsy at The Shard.
The event focused on inspiring young people with epilepsy to explore different career paths, build confidence and recognise their potential.
It was a fantastic opportunity to encourage and motivate the young people attending, reinforcing the message that epilepsy should not define who they are or limit what they can achieve.
Reflecting on the day, Olivia said:
“Today reminded me how important it is to give back to our communities. Having an impact on these young adults at a time when there is uncertainty and being able to discuss my personal experience meant a lot to me and made me feel very grateful.”
Help us reach the finish line!
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has already kindly supported us with a donation. It really means a lot to the team, but we still have a long way to go to reach our fundraising goal.
Every contribution will put us one step closer. With 25km ahead of us, your support will keep us going all the way to the finish line!
