Earlier this year, we completed the London Marathon together after a 16 week training block, running side by side from start to finish. Afterwards, we knew we wanted to take on another challenge, but not just to chase another PB. We wanted to do something with a bigger purpose.

This July, we’ll be running from Cornwall to Brighton, completing 7 ultra marathons in 7 days. Covering nearly 500km on foot, as we take on the Coast to Coast challenge.

We’ve both sadly lost our uncles to suicide. These are losses that have had a lasting impact on both of our families. Running has become something that’s brought us together and for Seb, it became a way of getting through some of the hardest times in his life, following the loss of his Mum to cancer in 2018.

We’re taking on this challenge in support of CALM because no one should have to struggle alone. If we can help raise awareness and funds for CALM’s life saving work and encourage even one person to reach out for support, then every mile will have been worth it.

If you'd like to support the challenge in any way, whether through sponsorship or helping us along the route, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch via Instagram or email.
