As i prepare for "The Sting Backyard Ultra" on July 12, 2025, i need your support to reach both mine and the Beaumont Recoveries team target of £1,000.

On 12th July, I’ll be taking on my hardest challenge yet: running 6.7km loops, every hour on the hour—over hills, trails, and through the woods—for as long as I can keep going. No set finish line, just a bit of solid endurance. I will keep running until I can’t run a single step more. I have 60 minutes to complete the loop, then it starts over again, every hour until there is a last man standing.

I’m doing this to raise money for Leeds Mind, because mental health struggles in our city are real and growing. 1 in 5 people in Leeds have sought help for anxiety or depression. Suicide rates in Leeds are higher than the national average, and men here are five times more likely to take their own lives than women. Too many still go without the support they need.

Every donation helps Leeds Mind provide vital services and support to those in crisis. Please give what you can.
