Two adventurous young women, fuelled by fernweh and an unshakable urge to explore, came up with a slightly crazy plan: to hitchhike all the way from Oslo to the far north of Norway—running, hiking, and discovering wild, beautiful places along the way. Their destination? The Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromsø, a magical city above the Arctic Circle where the sun never sets in summer.

But this isn't just about chasing adventure. Cara and Maud wanted this journey to mean something more.

So they decided to dedicate their trek to raising money for charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Right now, 703 million people are living without access to clean water. Many walk for hours every day—often in extreme conditions—just to collect water that can make them sick.

charity: water is working to change that. Every £30 raised gives one person access to clean water—for life. And 100% of public donations go directly to funding water projects. You’ll even get updates showing exactly where your money went, and who it helped.

This adventure is about pushing boundaries, chasing light, and doing good.
