In aid of their 150th year, RICS is aiming to raise £2.25 million by December 2018 to combat youth homelessness through LandAid. Known as 'Pledge 150', this will deliver 150 bed spaces across the UK. 1 in 200 people in the UK sleep rough or do not have a secure home, and these people are particularly at risk of falling victim to predators.

To help raise money for this amazing cause, I will be completing two challenges this summer - a Tough Mudder in Gloucestershire in August and a 10km trail run in Dorset in July.

For those who know me, you'll know I am certainly not a runner - I do what I can to get through my occasional super sprint triathlon. So a Tough Mudder and a 10km trail run will both be an opportunity to tackle new challenges. I'll crawl to the finish line if I have to.

Please give what you can, no matter how small, to help us take one step closer in ending youth homelessness.
