On Saturday 6 June they will trek through the Surrey countryside, including the heights of the Devil's Punchbowl during a 40 mile relay-walking challenge.

According to legend, Satan spent time there tormenting the god Thor by pelting him with enormous handfuls of earth.

Tales were told that he lived at the 'Devil's Jumps', three small hills near to Churt, while Thor lived at nearby Thor's Lie and tried to strike back with lightning bolts. This, the story goes, left the great bowl that can be viewed by visitors.

The hollow is overlooked by the 894 feet Gibbet Hill, the second highest hill in Surrey, according to the BBC natural history pages.

Teams have to walk as a minimum of three people at any one time and each of Denton’s team will be doing a relay of 10-20 miles stretches, with some looking to walk the full 40 mile. So far they have received £550 in donation pledges.

The team comprises:

David Fox
Derrick Fowler
Darnielle Silver
Keith Gorbutt
Paula Metherell
Sue Stevens
Zoe Maxwell
Rebecca Walker
Jacquie Pilcher
Helen Webb
Alan MacArthur and Mark Dunning (support drivers)

The walk starts at 7am from the Hampton Estate near Godalming on with teams due to complete it by midnight.

Many people suffering from this Cystic Fibrosis won't live to see their 40th birthday. Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited condition caused by a faulty gene, which is carried by 1 in 25 people. Dentons chairman Martyn Rose was a trustee of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust for the maximum two five-year terms until last December. During his time with the trust he raised more than £2million to support its work.

Mr Rose said: “I have been a trustee of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust for over 11 years and as a carrier of the faulty gene, which affects 1 in 25 people, this life threatening illness is very close to my heart.

“There is currently no cure for this inherited condition but through the dedicated work of the trust, treatments continue to improve and a cure may well now be within reach.”

David Fox, Dentons’ director of sales and marketing said: “I, along with my colleagues at Dentons, are pleased to be taking part in the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides 65 and to support the trust’s fight to find a cure for this life threatening condition. Dentons is proud to have been associated with the Trust through various fund raising activities in recent years.”
