Story

I’m Running 80km for SWACA.

On April 3rd, 2026, I’ll be taking on an 80km ultra marathon, running from Manchester to Liverpool to raise money for women and children who experience domestic abuse.

I’m doing this in support of SWACA (Sefton Women’s and Children’s Aid) — a charity that offers vital help and protection to those affected by domestic violence. Their work is close to my heart.

This cause is personal to me. My own mother experienced domestic abuse during her life. I’ve seen the strength it takes to survive that kind of trauma, and the long-lasting impact it can have. Her courage is a constant source of inspiration, and one of the main reasons I’m doing this. This run is for her, and for every woman and child who has ever felt trapped, afraid, or voiceless.

I’ll be documenting the training, the journey, and the event itself across my social media platforms — sharing the ups, the downs, and everything in between. I hope it raises awareness and honours the strength of those who’ve been through so much.

Any support would mean the world — no matter how big or small. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or just a few kind words, it all helps shine a light on this important cause.

Let’s lift some of that weight together.

- Chris
