Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Starting Monday, September 8th, 2025, I will take on a 570km (355-mile) run from Iceland’s northernmost point, Hraunhafnartangi, to its southern tip at Dyrhólaey.

This journey isn’t just about endurance — it’s about breaking records and making a difference. I will be attempting to beat the official Guinness World Record for this route, currently held by Luke Forelle and Elliot Berenger at 9 days, 7 hours, and 54 minutes. I am aiming to complete it in around 8 days.

My goal? Raise £250,000 for Construction Sport, a charity working to change the stigma around mental health in the Construction Industry.

Although the run will be a big challenge, I will feel most supported by people donating and sharing this challenge with friends, family, and colleagues. Every pound raised goes directly to Construction Sport to help break down barriers, open minds, and provide real support to those who need it most.

Let’s make noise. Let’s make change. Donate today. Share the journey. Be part of the impact.
