We are 5 Newcastle students, who are looking to make a significant contribution to mental health awareness. As we are all living in Newcastle, under strict quarantine rules, there has never been a more important time to raise awareness and support those who are suffering in silence.

Coinciding with Movember, the 5 of us (Will Garthwaite, James Keane, Archie Dixon-Smith, Diggy Slee, and James Toomey) will be collectively running 1000km throughout November, with each run being much more challenging than the last. Our final run will see us tackle and master a full marathon, and hopefully set a PB at the same time. We will be making sure that all of us are in tip-top condition, with plenty of time allowed for recovery and stretches. 

We do hope that you find this monumental challenge a worthy cause to get behind. If any of you want to follow our progress, please do follow our Instagram page @the.fantashtic.five. Please give generously, and we hope to see some of you out on a few of our runs.

All the best and lots of love
