I'm hoping to raise £750 for Stranraer's The Youth Pantry by running an ultra-marathon end March 2026.

I was doing the Lakes Traverse ultra-marathon
(56M, 10,500 feet) In Sat 28 March, but after 15 years the race organiser went bust on Thursday. So with two weeks to go the race has been cancelled. Step forward Jon, the race director at the Hardmoors 55, and now I am running across the North Yorks Moors (55 miles, 7500 feet ascent) in a week's time on Sat 21 March.

I am 53, love wild places and love Dumfries and Galloway, particularly The Rhins.

I am raising money for this charity because The Youth Pantry gives modern-day kids in this beautiful part of south west Scotland opportunities - through the food and activities they provide, no referrals, no one turned away.

Here's what they do: https://share.google/FaE7F2Cb9kK71kg282

Thanks, every pound you donate will give me extra motivation when I'm struggling into Helmsley in the gloaming.

Thanks, Dave
