Throughout the whole of May, I`ll be taking on the challenge of running 100km to raise awareness and monies for The Ellie Soutter Foundation.

Ellie, was one of the most progressive female junior snowboard athletes in Great Britain. She achieved many titles and was tipped to be one of Team GB`s strongest contenders for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

As a junior athlete coming from a family without substantial wealth, Ellie often had to miss out on training weeks and competing through lack of funds. Ellie understood the pressures on her family to obtain the necessary funds and battled with the pressures of funding and performance.

Tragically, the pressures became too much and sadly on Ellies 18th Birthday, she took her own life in July 2018.

The Ellie Soutter Foundation hopes to provide a safety net for inspiring talent, just like Ellie. They seek to alleviate these pressures as much as possible, so athletes can focus on their performance without constant financial worry. Promoting social mobility by making winter sports more accessible to those athletes from less wealthy backgrounds.

Together, lets raise mental awareness.

Its okay not be okay.
