Andy is Racing Around the Moon!

Andrew Longmore is raising money for Oxfordshire Community Churches

Team: LIFEHOUSE

Race Around the Moon!

We are a group of local churches working to transform local communities across Oxfordshire for the better through a wide range of initiatives, including education, youth work, grants for refugees and housing the homeless. We are also engaged in aid and development work in more than 10 other nations.

Story

Our church is going to Race Around the Moon - between us we're aiming to run, walk or train for 6,783 miles (10,917 km) over the summer, the circumference of the moon. As part of that, I'm aiming to average 50km per week, every week, until the end of September!

For me it's pretty massive - I badly injured my ankle in 2022, and for a long time I couldn't even walk quickly. It's taken me years to get back to running, and I'm really chuffed to have got to this point.

But why are we racing around the moon? To raise money! Our church does loads of great stuff for the community, like a mums and tots group, an old people's club, parenting courses, and social spaces for people to just be and meet other people (still super important after covid). And we'd like to do more!
