Story

13 out, 13 in - we did it together!

The Brathay 10 in 10 challenge is complete but there's still a little way to go to reach my fundraising target. Any help would be appreciated. You can read my blogs written during the 10 days here

That's 10 marathons in 10 days. A total of 262 miles. Why? Well it's all about Brathay Trust and the brilliant work they do, working with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people across the UK aiming to give them the confidence to break out of their situation and make a fresh start in life.

A marathon pushes you to the limit every time. They don't get any easier for having done a few. Most people think in terms of 4 weeks rest before starting to train for the next one in 6 months or a years time.

Your support will be very much appreciated. It will help me in the bleak moments when I wonder again, why? It will help me when I need to get out of bed to start yet another marathon on legs that will doubtless be hurting. Most importantly it will help Brathay Trust support those young people that need it.

My fundraising will not be limited to asking for donations. While not training I have been working hard organising events such as The Bedford Clanger marathon (a search on Google will find it) and passing all of the profits to charity.

About the charity

We work with a wide range of young people, often with fewer opportunities in life, including those managing the transition from living in care to independence, at risk of exploitation in unhealthy relationships, needing confidence to find work or training, or facing other challenges in their lives.
