12 Marathons in 12 Months · 15 February 2018

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.

Story

Last year I trekked to Everest Base Camp to raise money to build homes on an international level. This year I am bringing it back home to raise money for local homeless charities that help young homeless get back on the right path to education and eventually getting there own homes. I have decided to join my colleague Emma Preston and run 12 marathons over 12 months. I hope to raise enough money to really make a difference to these young homeless people. 

My challenge starts in April and I plan to run a marathon a month until March 2019. Here is the current list of races, I will be adding dates as they are confirmed:
