About Vanessa De Sousa

Profile picture

I am taking part in the Islands Walk to raise money in support of everyone who has fought cancer, and everyone who is currently fighting it today.

Cancer has affected my family personally. I have sadly lost loved ones to this disease, and I also have family members continuing their own battles with cancer. Seeing the strength, courage, and resilience it takes every single day has inspired me to do something meaningful in their honour.

By walking the Islands Walk, I want to represent even a small part of the strength they have every day. While one walk cannot compare to what they go through, I hope it shows my support, respect, and determination to help make a difference.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help support those affected by cancer and contribute towards research, care, and support services.

 Thank you in advance for your donation and for helping me make a difference.

About Island Walk sponsored by TMF Group 2026

The Around the Island Walk Trust has four Walks that you can register for in 2026 taking place on Saturday 20th June 2026.  

Main Walk - Covers 48.1 miles around the stunning coastline of Jersey. Starting at 3am from Elizabeth Terminal and goes in an anti-clockwise direction to catch the sunrise as you head east. There are 13 checkpoints along the route where you will be supported and scanned to keep you safe and on track.  

Relay - If 48.1 miles is a little daunting, why not get together with colleagues or friends and take on the challenge of the walk as a relay team with up to 4 members. 

Lieutenant Governors Challenge - if you would like to do the walk in sections the LG Challenge allows you to take on a different stage. Join his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey to take on 13 miles from Les Fontaines Tavern to Le Braye.  

ONE TMF Challenge - This walk from Bel Royal to the finish line is designed for those who may find our other routes too challenging. Spanning approximately 2 miles along a flat, accessible path, it’s perfect for families with young children, wheelchair users, and anyone with mobility challenges. Join us for this inclusive experience and the joy of crossing the finish line together!

Over the last 35 years, 100's of local charities have benefited from donations exceeding £3,000,000 - a few small steps can help make a BIG difference.

Please remember that in registering for the Walk you are agreeing to support those specific local charities which have successfully applied to the Organisers for funds, the Walk is not intended as a vehicle to raise funds for other Charities.
