80 mile ‘Push for Pudsey’ trek comes to Sheffield - where you can see BBC's “big red sofa”
The fundraiser will see the “big red sofa” pushed through Sheffield tomorrow.
The ‘Push for Pudsey’ challenge is coming to Sheffield in support of this year’s Children in Need fundraising efforts.
Over five days, Lindsey Burrow and Amy Garcia will push the infamous BBC “big red sofa” 80 miles across Yorkshire, in support of Children in Need.
The ‘Push for Pudsey’ challenge will see the pair trek all the way through South Yorkshire on Wednesday 11 November.
For Children in Need last year, they completed a thousand mile three-legged race challenge across Yorkshire.
Lindsey has completed numerous fundraising initiatives in honour of her late husband and rugby player Rob Burrow, who died of Motor neurone disease (MND) in June 2024.
They hope to make it all the way to Wakefield by 6.30pm on Friday night in a triumphant 80 mile push.
