In the UK, suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50. James' Place is on a mission to address this by providing free, life-saving therapy. And so, in order to raise money for this tremendous charity and awareness about the work that it does, I shall be attempting to run 1,000 km from the Thames to the Tyne via NCN Route 1. That's 2 marathons a day for 12 days, which may prove overly-ambitious. But, between us, we might just save a man's life.

The itinerary is below. Places with an asterisk are those where I am still looking for overnight accommodation (in any form). If you can help please send an email to: burgekeith@gmail.com.
