Hometown Heroes Making a Difference for Chartwell

We are always amazed by the incredible efforts of our supporters who go the extra mile to help us make a difference. These every day heroes are the driving force behind everything we do and we are proud to highlight some of their inspiring stories.

Paul’s Midsummer Madness 24 Hour Cycling Challenge

This June, Biggin Hill resident, Paul Clark, is gearing up for his most demanding endurance feat yet. Paul will take on Stock Hill, Biggin Hill’s steepest climb, cycling up and down a staggering 240 times in 24 hours – the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest!

Paul’s midsummer madness is in aid of a much-needed Cancer Information Centre at the Chartwell Unit in The Princess Royal University Hospital. This centre will provide vital support for cancer patients and their families when they need it most.

Local businesses and community members are rallying behind Paul’s inspiring challenge, Ben-efit Bike Fit Studio, Biggin Hill Social & Sports Club, Design Your Hype, Elliott Construction & Landscaping Ltd, Inwood Properties Ltd, Jtech Controls Ltd, Kelsey Park Lodge 5701, Luminate, S T Brown (Electrical) Ltd and The Framing Centre Tunbridge Wells.

  • Cheer Paul on during the challenge! – Commences 9am Saturday 21st June at the top of Stock Hill!

Rikus Running the London Marathon ‘His Way’

Rikus Harmse from Kings Road Veterinary Surgery, Biggin Hill, is preparing for his marathon with a twist! He is taking part in the 2025 TCS London Marathon MyWay, an event that lets participants complete the marathon distance in their own unique style.

Rikus will be running the full 26.2 miles in reverse (the route, not backwards!) at midnight! We wish Rikus the best of luck.
