Trek500

30/10/2026

A huge thank you to Asset Alliance Group for everything they’ve done to help bring Trek500 to life. 💙

From the very beginning, the AAG team got behind the challenge and helped turn an ambitious idea into something that could grow into the incredible community we’ve seen around Trek500.

That included creating the Trek500 logo, helping to bring the launch event together, helping to run the social media, supporting on PR and photography, providing T-shirts for the organisers group and pin badges for everyone who completed a stage, as well as helping bring businesses, sponsors and event partners on board. They even walked and fundraised for a stage too!

But it’s been about much more than the practical support. The team have helped tell the Trek500 story, spread awareness and get more people behind Campbell and the cause throughout the journey.

And, of course, members of the AAG team have also pulled on their walking boots and joined Campbell on the trail, getting stuck into the challenge alongside everyone else. 🥾

We’re incredibly grateful for the time, creativity, energy and support that AAG has given Trek500 over the past six months.

Over £100,000 raised for Prostate Cancer Research is an incredible achievement, and AAG has been an integral part of making that possible.

Thank you for believing in Trek500 and helping make every mile count. ❤️

💙 Trek500 Hero: Susan Roy 💙

When people look at Trek500, they see Campbell walking more than 500 miles along the Scottish National Trail. What they don’t always see is the incredible amount of work happening behind the scenes to make every stage possible.

Quite simply, Trek500 would not have been the success it has become without Susan.

From the earliest planning meetings to the final stages of the challenge, Susan has been at the heart of Trek500, working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. She has coordinated walkers, sponsors, partners and supporters, organised accommodation and logistics, supported fundraising activities, helped deliver the social media content, and even provided trail support along the route.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Susan also walked an incredible 12 stages herself!

Whether it was arranging accommodation after a long day on the trail, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be, preparing food and supplies, coordinating with Prostate Cancer Research and our sponsors, managing the auction, or providing words of encouragement when they were needed most, Susan has been there every step of the way.

Challenges like Trek500 are never achieved by one person alone, and Susan’s contribution has been nothing short of extraordinary. She has undertaken it all with a smile, endless patience and unwavering commitment to the cause.
Campbell describes Susan as his rock, and after everything she has done for Trek500, we think it’s only right that she takes her place as one of our Trek500 Heroes.

👏 Thank you, Susan. Trek500 simply would not have existed without you.

💙 Trek500 Hero: Andy Kelly

Trek500 may have been a walking challenge, but there was an incredible team of people working behind the scenes to help make it all happen⚙️

Today, we’d like to recognise someone who never seeks the spotlight and rarely takes credit for the impact he makes! 🥰

Andy Kelly has been a constant source of support, guidance and advice throughout the Trek500 journey. Whether helping behind the scenes, supporting charitable causes, or simply being there when needed, Andy is the kind of person who quietly makes a difference without ever asking for recognition🧡

His input throughout Trek500 has been invaluable, and many of those involved in the challenge will have benefited from his wisdom, encouragement and willingness to help! 🌟

Campbell is proud to call Andy not only a friend, but also a mentor💙

This is just a small way of saying thank you for everything you’ve done to help make Trek500 the success it has become ☺️

👏 Thank you, Andy.

💙 £100,000 Raised for Prostate Cancer Research! 💙

When Trek500 began, reaching six figures felt like a dream, in fact it felt so out of reach, we never even thought about it let alone mention it! Today, thanks to an incredible community of supporters, sponsors, walkers, donors and volunteers, that dream has become a reality 🥺

To have raised £100,000 for PCR is beyond our wildest expectations!

What started as one person taking on a 500+ mile challenge has grown into something truly special. Every donation, every sponsored mile, every stage walked and every message of encouragement has helped us reach this remarkable milestone 💗

This achievement belongs to:
🥾 Everyone who has joined Campbell on the trail
💙 Our sponsors and partners who have backed the challenge from day one
👏 Every individual who has fundraised in support of Trek500
🎗️ Every person who has donated, shared our story and cheered us on along the way

Most importantly, this milestone means more funding for the vital work of Prostate Cancer Research and brings us one step closer to improving outcomes for those affected by prostate cancer 🎉

We are incredibly grateful for the support we've received and humbled by the generosity shown throughout this journey 🧡

£100,000 raised. 500+ miles. One incredible community. One powerful cause.

Thank you for believing in Trek500 and helping make every mile count. 💙
