From September 2020 I plan to volunteer for a year with the French charity, Utopia 56, which works with vulnerable and homeless refugees in North Paris. While working there I will be helping collect donations, distribute hot meals and clothes and coordinating access to voluntary accomodation.

As a long term volunteer, my accomodation will be provided, however I still need to raise £5,300 to provide food and other essentials for my work there. Any donations will go straight toward the costs of enabling me to support Utopia 56's invaluable work.

To raise this money I'm doing a sponsored run of 9 Lake District peaks in a day, including Great End, Bowfell and Pike O'Blisco. This is a total of 23km with1,800m of ascent on some of the toughest terrain in England. I will be running this towards the end of June (day depending on conditions) letting me complete all the 214 Wainwrights before my 18th Birthday and will let sponsors know once I've finished. For a video overview of my route see below:

Any donations, no matter how small, will be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

James.
