Join Matthew and Beat the Trails!

Matthew Haywood, the youngest ever winner of Survivor UK, claiming the title in 2023, has laced up his walking boots and joined the Beat the Trails team. Already taken on Beat the Gower Coast in 2026, he is looking to tick another Beat the Trails event this summer.
"I'm beating the trails for Marie Curie this summer. It's a great way to challenge myself and see what I'm capable of. There's no better sense of achievement than getting that medal around your neck as you cross the finish line, knowing you've helped more people who need end of life care."
Matthew will be beating his trail in memory of his grandma Bernadette. Join Matthew and sign up to one of our exciting trails across the UK. Beat the Trails for yourself, for your loved ones, and for a better end of life care.
