Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Bart and Dan along with a team of 5 other nutters are taking part in an ultra marathon called The Lap in Lake Windermere -

SPRING FORWARD | The Lap

It's a mere 47 miles with 2500m of ascent/descent. We have never run this far before (and probably never will again!). Training is already tough - when you consider a half marathon an easy run you know you've crossed a line of some sort. It gets hard to stay motivated as your life seems to become about putting in the miles.

We feel that the pandemic and lockdown has had an impact on just about everyones mental health and we wanted to do something.

We have decided to focus our fund raising on helping young people. We can't imagine how tough it has been to miss exams, graduations, special birthdays or just being with friends. 

To be isolated at home when you should be out living, doing silly things and making memories.......

To be stuck at home trying to motivate yourself to learn in front of a screen with stressed out parents trying to work....... 

To just be told one day that school is finished for you, no exams, no prom, no parties.........

To finish your degree and just go home, no party, no fanfare, no graduation.....

To start university life stuck in your flat or halls.......

To start your very first job but never actually meet your colleagues......

The pandemic will impact us all but please give generously to help Young Minds to help our future stay strong. 

Dan and Bart
