On Sunday 28th May 2023 I'm taking on the UK Ultra South Downs 50km race, partly as a personal challenge but mainly to raise funds for Holding Space. Good mental health is as important as good physical health, yet it still gets overlooked and is chronically underfunded. I've known the founder of Holding Space for a few years now and have seen how much the service they provide makes a difference to peoples lives; for more details, do please visit holdingspace.org.uk, or click on the link shown above.

Why run an Ultra ? Well, too many people know I can run a marathon, so I had to up the ante; at the same time, running gives me what Holding Space strives for - good mental health.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, and to read this. If you can spare a small donation I would very much appreciate it; if not, maybe share the page details so I can reach a few more people. Thank you.
