Matt's fundraiser for Headspace

Matt Heming is raising money for Headspace

North Yorkshire Ultra Challenge 2026 · 20 June 2026 ·

75% of mental health issues begin in adolescence. Every year over 200 school aged children die by suicide. Headspace offers free counselling and wellbeing activities to improve the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people aged 11 to 19 living in the North Cotswolds.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I’m planning on completing the longest run of my life so far, my first Ultra Marathon... A 50km coastal trail run in North Yorkshire from Scarborough to Whitby with over 1300m elevation. I’ve been living in Yorkshire since coming up for Uni in 2015 and I spent my childhood growing up in the Cotswolds. My Dad trained as a teacher and now works for a charity which supports young adults under 19 affected by mental health challenges. They offer counselling, mentoring and wellbeing support for kids and young adults that need it.

I’m passionate about supporting others and raising money for a great cause; especially a smaller charity that would really benefit from any donations! Headspace believes that ‘Addressing issues such as anxiety, stress, self-harm, social anxiety, and other mental health concerns is crucial for supporting the overall well-being of young people’.

I want to support them to help more young people in the Cotswolds as they navigate the challenges of life and education. They make a real difference in giving these individuals support to help them engage in jobs and society!!

Please consider supporting this charity as I start my training to compete this! Thank you!!
