This July and August, Nick Foster and I are running the entire length of the UK from John o’ Groats to Land’s End, over 1,400 kilometres in just 21 days.

That is 70 kilometres every single day.

We are both working in education and we are taking on this challenge during the school holidays to push ourselves to the extreme, not just for the physical test but to show others that normal people can do great things.

This is about seeing how far we can go and backing ourselves to get there.

We have both spent years in schools giving our time and energy to other people. This challenge is our chance to test ourselves, reset, and see what we are made of when it is just us and the road.

We are raising money to help fund this project and support a cause that genuinely matters.

Fifty percent of all donations will go directly to our charity partner, Rays of Sunshine, who support seriously ill children by granting wishes and creating moments they will never forget.

We are not elite runners. We are not full time athletes. We are just two blokes with a big goal, a lot of heart, and the willingness to show up every day.

Every bit of support helps us keep turning up and getting the job done.
