The Ellie Soutter Foundation

For the second year, I will be running 100km in May to raise money for The Ellie Soutter Foundation, inspired by my friend and team-mate @xavierpoyntonski. Xav remains an inspiration both on and off the slopes and has run for the last few years in support of this charity. Last year I decided I also wanted to support this cause and loved being part of it - I felt mentally and physically stronger and loved running with various friends who joined me along the way.

Like Xav, I recognise how important this cause is, trying to support those wanting to succeed at the highest level in their snowsports journey and supporting their mental health in helping to deal with the various pressures. A journey I am just starting out on.

Tragically, Ellie’s journey was cut short when Ellie took her own life on her 18th birthday in July 2018. Her family decided to form The Ellie Soutter Foundation in her memory to help and assist other young winter athletes in similar circumstances. They are working to raise awareness of the pressures and struggles that junior athletes face both financially and mentally and aim to support aspiring ski and snowboard athletes fulfil their potential by supporting them.

It's ok not to be ok.

If you would help me support this fantastic cause close to my heart by making a donation, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Josh.
