Charitable distance skating

[citation needed] Cornthwaite was also the first person to skateboard the length of Britain, travelling from John o' Groats to Land's End between April 30, 2006, and June 2, 2006, a total distance of 895.9 miles (1,441.8 km).

Many other charitable longboard journeys have taken place, including Nat Halliday et al.'s skate of the length of New Zealand in 2007, Sam Benson's Beatswalkin' journey from Devon, England, to Barcelona, Spain, in 2007, and Ben Stiff's record-breaking length of Britain skate in 2008.

Long Treks on Skate Decks comprises Paul Kent, Aaron Enevoldsen and Adam Colton.

In 2010 SkateAcrossUSA formed a team led by Ari Mannis that skated almost 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from Oregon to New York, followed by a support vehicle, to raise money for at-risk youth.

In 2012 they finished their second journey from Santa Cruz to San Diego, California, totaling over 550 miles (890 km) with no support.
