From Boro to Benidorm with heavy fridges on their backs
The Gazette
|August 14, 2025
MENTAL health campaigners are walking a staggering 1,400 miles from Middlesbrough to Benidorm all in the name of charity.
Tom Judge founded First Contact UK five years ago after he found himself struggling with his own complex mental health problems.
The charity aims to destigmatise the taboo surrounding mental health, spread awareness and encourage people to open up and share their problems before it's too late a service that many in the North East desperately need.
Tom, along with Kev Wilcox, is in training for his latest challenge to walk from Middlesbrough to Benidorm carrying a fridge.
The pair will set off on August 30 and they aim to spark meaningful conversations while walking 22.3 miles (about 36km) every day of their 12-week journey.
