I am undertaking this challenge for personal reasons and to raise money for a great cause.

In recent time my mum was diagnosed and suffered with Dementia, robbing her of her most cherished memories.

In January 2026 my eldest brother passed away unexpectedly.

So I am undertaking a Mountain Trek, as none of us knows what the future holds!

Please donate if you can!

Below is some information about the charity and the partnership with my employer, Co-op.

The events of recent of years have made 9 in 10 young people say ‘having enough money to cover basic needs’ is now an aspiration in life, over ‘achieving their dream job’ and ‘buying a house’*. We think the next generation deserve a better future, so Co-op has teamed up with Barnardo’s to bring communities together to support 1 million young people.

Co-op colleagues are walking, running, cycling and climbing to raise £7m to fund work with young people to utilise social media to produce safe, reliable and shareable online support that can be accessed by any community. We’re also delivering in-depth support through services in communities that need it most.

Thank you for supporting the Co-op and Barnardo’s partnership. Your donation will make a real difference to young people’s lives.
