AfterBurn Fitness will be raising money for two fantastic charities on the 13th August 2022, in what proves to be a MASSIVE event. Given the scale of the 100km running challenge, we’re hoping to raise an incredible sum to help as much as possible.

First up is Winston’s Wish, a charity that offers support for children suffering from bereavement. This charity has been really important for the two young children of an AfterBurn member, who devastatingly lost their dad in December. This will be Jack’s primary motivation to keep pushing through each and every km, to show support for a member of the AfterBurn & Liphook community. We cannot begin to imagine how difficult the last few months has been for the entire family, but we’re hoping this goes a long way to boost the support on offer. Winston's Wish Website

The second charity is Dreams Come True, a charity we choose to support yearly, because of the fantastic support they provide. Dreams Come True offer kids with life threatening or terminal illnesses the chance to fulfil their dreams. Something that we often take for granted, but in reality every child should have access to!

So... what will they day entail? Jack will complete a 100km (61 miles!) continuous ultra-endurance event in Liphook and the surrounding area. He will be hoping to finish in under 16hrs. Jack will be joined at different points by a lot of members of the local community, to help push him through the event. At the HQ, a number of stalls, activities and live music will be on offer. An event to keep the whole family entertained! Venue is currently tbc, but will be Liphook based.

This challenge will take Jack to the edge of his mental and physical limits. So, any support - however large or small - means the world to us, the charities and to Jack 🙏

Feel free to contact us if you’d like to be involved in the day somehow… there’s plenty to do! 😂 The bigger the event, the more we can raise!
