Story

50 Miles Challenge in 3 Days 😊

Supporting the Serco People Fund

In March 2026, I’ll be pushing myself to the limit, physically and mentally, alongside my incredible colleagues at Serco. Together, we’re taking on a 3-day challenge to raise money for a cause close to our hearts:

Serco People Fund ❤️

What’s the challenge?

🏃‍♂️ Sunday 29 March – Running the Sheffield Half Marathon (13.1 miles)

⛰️ Monday 30 March – Tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge (27 miles over Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough)

🚶‍♀️ Tuesday 31 March – Completing a 10-mile hike in the Peak District

That’s 50 miles in just three days, through pain, blisters, sore muscles, and whatever the weather throws at us.

Why?

The Serco People Fund supports current and retired Serco colleagues, and their close family, when they face extraordinary financial challenges.

Whether it's illness, bereavement, or financial crisis, the fund is there to help people through their toughest times.

Many of us have been touched by stories of colleagues helped by this fund and this is our way of giving back and keeping that support going strong.

If anyone would like to join me, whether for the full challenge or just a part of it, you are very welcome ☺️
