Story

To celebrate turning 34 and officially entering the first “senior” category for race results, I’ve signed up for a year-long virtual challenge to run the length of Britain (Lands End to John O’Groats), a total of 1,744km. 

Along the way, I will be fundraising for We Are PANGS. Those of you who know me will have supported my fundraising for Mind whilst running the Brighton Marathon a few years back and know that mental services mean a lot to me. Since my first marathon, I’ve become a dad twice over and have appreciated how important parental mental health is. The following is from We Are PANGS website: 

“Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every parent across Northern Ireland can access timely and appropriate care to help them recover from mental illness.”

Thank you for your support
