Charles and a small crew from Regenerate are running from John o Groats to Land's End!! With a difference! From the highest point of the British Isles to the farthermost corner of Cornwall there is one goal: 40 marathons, 40 days, 40 performances all to raise support and awareness for mental health and raise funds for youth work charity Regenerate, as they create opportunities for hundreds of young people to thrive.

Regenerate inspires and supports young people by building strong relationships and creating life changing opportunities; helping them grow in confidence, make the best of their lives and impact the world for good. Regenerate is a youth charity established in YR 2000 to work with young people on housing estates in SW London.

If we reach our target, the funds raised will be able to help create employment and support for 75 young people coming out of gangs, crime and long term unemployment into "The Feel Good Bakery' coffee enterprise and support the Regenerate 'Get Active' youth work and mentoring programs working with over 300 young people.

A word from Charles:

"I'm so excited about this challenge. The work of Regenerate is so real and the stories Ive heard of lives being changed are beautiful. Ive wanted to take this on for some time because I believe in running. I love the rhythm of feet hitting the road and the effect that that has on the mind. The last 18 months of lock-down and isolation have been a feeding ground for anxiety, loneliness and depression. Running has always helped me find an escape when Ive felt trapped and isolated. And all you need is a pair of shoes and a running buddy to get you moving. I cant wait to see how Regenerate propel people into action as they always do and to see this journey unfold".
