Story
On August 29th–30th, I am taking on the absolute hardest physical and mental challenge of my life.
I am running a solo, completely self-supported ultra-marathon—over 80 miles non-stop across Yorkshire. I’ll be starting right from our Score workshop on Saltend chemicals park in Hull, and running all the way to our main facility in Brighouse.
This is a completely solo, self-supported journey. Without a structured race environment, aid stations, or a closed course, it is entirely up to me to manage my pacing, nutrition, and mindset from the first mile to the last. The clock runs continuously, meaning I will be moving straight through the day and night to bridge the distance between our two facilities. Pushing through that level of monotony and fatigue over 80 miles of road is as much a mental test as a physical one, but keeping the ultimate goal in mind is what will keep me moving forward.
Why Tommy’s?
I am doing this to raise £3,000 for Tommy’s, an incredible charity that funds vital research into miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth. They work tirelessly to find answers, make pregnancy safer, and support families navigating the devastating heartbreak of baby loss.
As a parent, I know how incredibly lucky I am. But far too many families aren't that lucky. The physical agony of pushing my body for 80 miles is absolutely nothing compared to the emotional pain that so many parents are forced to endure. No one should have to walk out of a hospital with empty arms.
I Need Your Help To Hit £3,000
This is a massive undertaking, and I can't do it alone. I am covering all the logistics and gear myself—every single penny donated here goes directly to Tommy’s to fund life-saving research.
Whether you can spare the price of a coffee or something more, every single donation keeps my legs moving when the wall hits at mile 50.
If you can’t donate, please hit share. Let's hit this target and make a real difference together.
Thank you.
