From Friday 10th April, I’ll be taking on an incredible challenge: running 105 miles nonstop to raise funds for Halton Young Carers.

I’m proud to be supported by Hutchinson Engineering, who have pledged to raise a minimum of £3,000. This funding will help provide a much-needed day trip for young carers — children who truly deserve time to rest, have fun, and just be kids.

Young carers are children aged 4–17 who care for a parent or sibling with a physical disability, chronic illness, severe mental ill health, or substance misuse issues. Many take on responsibilities far beyond their years, often with little time for themselves. Your support can make a real difference to their lives.

To raise as much money as possible, I’ll be running for approximately 40 hours, tackling the Lakeland 100 – Ultra Tour of the Lake District, one of the most spectacular long-distance trail events in the UK.

The route is a full circular tour of the Lake District fells, covering around 6,300 metres of ascent and running almost entirely on public bridleways and footpaths. Starting in Coniston, the course heads south before looping clockwise through the Dunnerdale fells, Eskdale, Wasdale and Buttermere, on to Keswick, then across Matterdale and Haweswater, before returning via Kentmere, Ambleside and Elterwater back to Coniston.

It’s going to be tough — physically and mentally — but knowing it’s for such an important cause will keep me going every step of the way.
