After reading all about the amazing and super inspirational Sophie Epstone (founder of trekstock) we wanted to share the story with you all.

Founded in 2006, Trekstock has raised thousands of pounds for Teenage Cancer Trust. The idea originated when its founder, Sophie Epstone, signed up for a Teenage Cancer Trust trek to Everest. To raise money, she conceived the idea to put on a little music gig, pushing her to visit the UK festivals, spread the word about Teenage Cancer Trust and promote the event using her now cult ‘I heart Trekstock’ blue badges. The message grew far and wide, as did the support from world famous artists and celebrities.
Since then, the Trekstock brand has gained invaluable celebrity support from artists and celebrities such as Beth Ditto, Katy Perry, Mischa Barton, Noel Gallagher, Jason Mraz, Kings of Leon, Agyness Deyn, The Klaxons, Band of Horses, Jack & Kelly Osbourne, Kate Nash, Dirty Pretty Things, Russell Brand, Razorlight, The Mighty Boosh, The Horrors, Radio 1’s Chris Moyles, Zane Lowe and Nihal, Gossip Girls’ Chace Crawford, Kimberly Stewart, Jade Jones, Sadie Frost, Jimmy Carr, Johnny Vegas, The Mystery Jets, Alan Carr and many, many more.
Trekstock has had a presence promoting Teenage Cancer Trust at all of the UK’s biggest and best festival including Glastonbury, Bestival, V Festival, Leeds Festival, The Mighty Boosh Festival, O2 Wireless and Hard Rock Calling.
