Story

🏃‍♂️ Running Home… 180 Miles(ish)

On 9th July 2026, I’ll be setting off from Tower Bridge, London… and running all the way home to Bignall End, Staffordshire.

That’s 180 miles(ish)

Over 4 days.

No shortcuts.

💥 The Challenge

This isn’t a race, There’s no finish line clock.— I’ve run long distances before, but this is on another level.This is about resilience, discipline, and purpose:

- Starting each day on tired legs

- Managing pain, sleep, and fuel

- Keeping moving when everything says stop

At some point, it’s going to hurt. On my feet, through whatever the British weather throws at me.

💚💛🧡 Why I’m Doing It💚💛🧡

I’m raising money for Positive about Down Syndrome (PADS) and local support group — Both incredible charities supporting individuals and families— that supports children and families in a way that genuinely changes lives. They provide guidance, reassurance, and real-life support to families navigating something that can feel overwhelming at first. What they do genuinely changes lives — not just for children, but for entire families.

🎯 Get Involved & How You Can Help

If you’re able to support, every donation genuinely makes a difference.

To make it a bit more interesting:

If you sponsor me £10 or more, you’ll get a FREE guess at how long it will take me to run the whole thing.

👀 Closest guess wins £250 CASH 💷

🙌 Thanks

If you can donate or share, it really does help.

And when it gets tough out there, which if definitely WILL, knowing people are backing this will keep me moving.

Let’s see if I can make it home… 🏁
