Story

I am attempting to become the first person ever to run and row from Asia to London solo and self supported. I am running a marathon a day for atleast 70 days whilst wild camping every night in order to complete the approximate 2000 mile journey. To find out more about my run head over to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKyGSGxBLHvOZt002P9ZK4w or check out my Instagram @thehardestgeezer_

Obviously being an avid runner myself I am the first person to preach about the benefits of running not only physically but also mentally which is why I’m buzzing to announce I will be raising money for The Running Charity which aims to improve the lives of young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by using running not only to improve their overall health and fitness but also to positively impact them mentally by instilling a goal-setting mentality that is so important to help build a brighter future for some of the most vulnerable people amongst us in our society.  

I hope this run can inspire people to take up running and experience first hand the same benefits I’ve had.
