In just seven days, I'll be braving the scorching Nevada desert, embarking on a journey that pushes the limits of human endurance. Picture this: a gruelling 340-mile run from the bustling streets of Los Angeles to the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, all within 48 hours. Sounds insane, right? Well, that's precisely what I'm signing up for as I gear up for The Speed Project, renowned as one of the toughest relay races on the planet.

I'm running to raise awareness on the incredible work of the Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF), a charity committed to transforming the lives of children and families in need in Nepal.

For over thirty years, NYF has been a beacon of hope, providing crucial support in healthcare, education, shelter, and disaster relief. Last year alone, they touched the lives of over 16,000 children and 14,000 adults, equipping them with the tools to thrive against all odds.

But here's where you come in: Every donation you make to NYF will be matched pound for pound, up to an astonishing £50,000, thanks to the generosity of a dedicated supporter. That means your contribution will have double the impact, amplifying the significance of every blister, every ache, and every triumphant stride I take in this audacious challenge.

This isn't just about me conquering the desert; it's about us coming together to transform lives and create lasting change. So, whether you can spare £10, £100, or any amount in between, I urge you to join me in supporting NYF. Together, we can turn this wild adventure into something truly extraordinary and make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
