Hello, I’m Matt!

Thank you so much for visiting my Just Giving Page on behalf of the John Pass 75 Moments of Kindness Campaign. This year, the John Pass team have set themselves a goal to take part in 75 Moments of Kindness to benefit the community, climate, and a number of various charities. This is an exciting initiative and for my moment, I have decided to attempt to run 75 miles to raise money for the Maccas Project!

The Maccas Project is a very important charity that supports the mental wellbeing of young men by creating awareness about mental health issues through educational means, and offers meetups and workshops, where young people can get together to speak about any concerns or issues in a safe and supported space. Raising funds for this charity will help the project in continuing to save lives and support the mental wellbeing of young men. Young people are often overlooked when it comes to mental health and the stress that the covid pandemic has left behind, along with the pressures of social media often lead to anxieties and depression that can lead to serious mental health problems.

for those who know me know that i am no stranger to endurance events, In the past I have undertaken many endurance challenges! predominantly triathlon based and i enjoy pushing myself to the limit in as tough a setting as possible. I’ve always wanted to take part in a challenge where I can raise money for my chosen charity and John Pass’s 75 Moments of Kindness Campaign, has offered me the opportunity to do just that! Having not ran or trained consistently in four years 75 miles is a distnace that really scares me and i feel derserves your hard earned money as sponsorship. My training is underway, If you would like to follow my fitness journey as I prepare for the full 75miles, you can follow me on Strava, (also updates on this page) and feel free to join me for a run anytime. If you’re really feeling brave, why not take a picture we can share to our socials and add hashtags #johnpass #75momentscampaign #maccasproject #northstaffsmind , to show your support!

I’m looking forward to my final 75mile run, and although I know it will be extremely tough, I’m running for such a great cause, which I know, will push me through to the last mile.

Any donation will be most appreciated, and I know the Maccas Project will be thrilled too!
