I’m running the ‘Lone Wolf’ 24-hour Backyard Ultramarathon on 10th October 2026 to raise money for Score a Bed - a brilliant organisation working with small, local charities to help people experiencing bed poverty and homelessness get something many of us take completely for granted: a safe, comfortable place to sleep.

I’ve worked with Jenny, the founder of Score a Bed, since she first came to me with the seed of an idea. We instantly connected over making a practical difference to people who desperately need somewhere safe to sleep, and helping the amazing local charities we work with do more.

So I’m going to do what I do best…

Run, for as long as I can.

The challenge is simple: 6.7 kms, on the hour, every hour, for up to 24 hours.

I may not make it through all 24 hours. But that’s part of the point.

I will be tired. I will be uncomfortable. I will desperately want to stop and go to bed.

And while I can eventually choose to do exactly that, there are people who don’t have that choice.

People experiencing homelessness or severe bed poverty may not have a proper bed, a mattress, clean bedding, warm pyjamas, or sometimes even a safe place to sleep at all.

That’s why I’m running.

Every donation will help Score a Bed provide practical support that can make an immediate difference to someone’s life.

What your donation could help provide:

🛏️ £150 — A Complete Bed Bundle

A brand-new bed frame, high-quality mattress, duvet and pillow, fresh bed linen and new pyjamas - an entire setup for someone in bed poverty

🛌 £75 — Help towards a complete bed setup

🛌 £50 — Could provide a cosy mattress for someone in bed poverty

🌙 £25 — 24-hour Emergency Shelter Bed - a warm room, hot bath, care pack, and hot food

❤️ £10 — Help someone take a step towards a safer, warmer night’s sleep

And I’m putting my own money behind every lap too:

I’ll donate £20 for every lap I complete.

So the longer I run, the more I’ll personally contribute.

Whether you donate £5, £10, £25 or enough to fund a complete Bed Bundle, every contribution helps turn this challenge into something meaningful for someone who needs a better night’s sleep.

If you can donate, thank you. If you can share this page, thank you. And if you can do both, you could help change someone’s night - and potentially much more than that.

I’m going to run until I can’t run any more.

Please help me make every lap count.

Thank you ❤️
