I know my boys are extremely fortunate to have a loving dad at home. But unfortunately, this is not the case for so many in Reading, and across the country.

Boys without father figures face far more challenges than your average boy. Unemployment, academic failure, depression, chronic illness, anxiety and poverty later in life are all far more likely for fatherless boys. Chapter2 is writing hope into the fatherless story in Reading by providing dedicated male mentors.

So on Father's Day weekend 2025, I will be setting on an huge task to walk 100KM along the Thames Path in under 24 hours… this is not going to be easy!

Please consider sponsoring me, your donation will go towards providing and supporting long term make mentors, and it will help motivate me through the pain on the day!
