Story
I’m taking on a 650+ mile challenge, running between every Premier League stadium from April 28th to May 17th.
I’m doing this because, every day, we’re surrounded by negativity. Now more than ever, it feels easy to fall into that and carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. In a world consumed by media, I want this challenge to stand for something different, community, getting outside, motivating others and encouraging people to open up about how they really feel. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to make the tough days a little easier.
I’ve seen friends and family go through incredibly difficult times, and I’ve felt the emotional impact it brings. This year, I sadly lost a family member, and it’s affected those closest to me in ways that are hard to put into words. Through everything, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is simple: ”a problem shared is a problem halved”. It’s something we hear all the time, but it’s true speaking out can change everything.
That’s why I’ve chosen to do this for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). To put it simply, their mission is exactly what this challenge is about. They’re there for people when they need it most , answering a call every 59 seconds on average, and offer support every single day from 5pm to midnight for anyone who feels like they have no one else to talk to.
Running to each Premier League stadium is important to me because football clubs sit at the heart of communities. They represent passion, belief, and togetherness, and that’s exactly what this challenge is about. Bringing people together, supporting one another and facing life’s challenges as a team.
This is bigger than football. Take your mate out. Go for a run. Go for a pint. Walk the dog. Go for a picnic! It doesn’t matter what it is, just talk.
Why £41,815?
That’s the average capacity of a Premier League stadium. Every £1 donated represents one seat, one person, a reminder that every single contribution matters.
If you can, please donate whatever you’re able to and share this page to support an incredible cause. You’re also more than welcome to join me for any part of the run or come down and show support ,routes and dates will be shared on socials.
Everything and anything is appreciated 🤍
