Story

WHERE TO START...

Me and Sean have been good mates for a long time now and have been running together for around a year and a half or so. This is something we both enjoy and continue to challenge ourselves with recently completing the 4-4-48 challenge set by David Goggins a couple months back. 

We were asked to participate in the Chester Zoo 10K by one of our mates Dan who is also a keen runner to which we agreed too. This then snowballed into me and Sean Running home from Chester Zoo Via the Runcorn bridge. At first this was just set for a challenge but we decided "Why not do it for charity and something important" This then led us to choosing a charity to run for.

Over the past 12/18 months we have both seen very close friends and family lose loved ones. This has then seen changes in these people and  had a substantial affect on their personalities and their mental health. This was a hard time for not only them but us as their friends too see. This is the reason we have decided to support LBS!

LBS are an amazing charity based in Liverpool whom offer counseling sessions for those who have lost loved ones who may not be fortunate enough to turn to a friend or family member for help, or who maybe unsure of what to do or how to feel through those hard times. They are run purely on donations (This blew my mind!) and even if a donation is unable to be made they will never turn a person away who is in need of help and guidance which is truly inspiring.

Their reach has seen them support people from the Wirral to Knowsley even out to St. Helens and Wigan they are truly there to support everyone and anyone who needs it and only £30 for a specialist counseling session! 

This cause has a close meaning to both of us and would love any support at all it is all truly appreciated!

If anyone would like any further information from me surrounding LBS please reach out!

Our training and runs will be broadcast on my Instagram page (Rbstones) please feel free to follow me and support!
