On October 3rd, 100,000 people will be taking part in the biggest marathon ever staged in the world. I will be running it virtually in the Surrey hills on this day. 100 Runners will be taking on the virtual challenge for BBC Children in Need, to raise money children & young people in the UK, affected by a whole range of disadvantages such as poverty, disability, illness, distress or trauma. We also work with a range of partners to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the UKs children and young people today, including: mental health and wellbeing, violence impacting young people, child sexual exploitation, holiday hunger; access to employment, and social injustice. A huge thank you to DFS for everything they do for this charity and to all our incredible runners taking on the ultimate challenge this October we couldnt do it without you!
