I have done alot of travelling around the world and stayed in YHAs in New Zealand and Australia. I even lived in a YHA in Brisbane for an amazing 3 months of my life. The YHA fund stays for families and young people facing adversity so that everyone has the chance to gain new confidence, new skills and a new perspective on the world. 

Today millions of young people live challenging lives together we can help create unforgettable moments in amazing places, on their first big adventure. With your support we can deliver experiences that have the power to change young people’s futures. Moments where young people believe in themselves for the first time, recognise their talents and develop the ambitions that will take them on a different path through life. For the millions of young people facing poverty, disability, long-term illness and other challenges, these moments are rare.

I am running the London marathon to give those who are not as fortunate as myself to experience the great outdoors and get stuck in on adventures, because they are something that every child should be able to experience.
