Bobby's Walk Full Circle

‘Bobby’s Walk Full Circle’ is a 2,600 mile charity trek across India, that will see India Association Chairman Bobby Grewal, walk from Kanyakumari (on the Southern tip of India) up the east coast, via Chennai and Kolkata to Delhi, where he is due to finish the walk in late March 2016. The amazing point to note is that Bobby completed his India west cost walk in 2005. 80 year old Bobby will embark on the five-month walk in late October 2015, with the aim of raising £1.5 million.

£1500000 £5447 Start £0.00

We still have far to go

This walk has already been over a year in planning. We are especially looking for sponsors, in the areas of air travel, transport and communication logistics. Every donation no matter what the size will help us reach our target. All money raised in the UK will be split equally between two of our nominated charities, the British Asian Trust and Great Ormond Street Hospital together with the India Association. You can read more about Bobby's Walk by looking at the Projects section below or by clicking on Projects in the menu above.
