Charity Fundraising
Many individuals or organisations use a walk on all or part of the path to raise money for charity. In 2005 WaterAid used the whole length of the South West Coast Path for a charity walk called Coast Along which raised £50,000. A repeat Coast Along event was held on 15 September 2007, with 600 individuals participating, and another event was planned for 2009. In 2012 Mal Law ran the entire path in 17 days for mental health charities.
