Story

Running the Runways – In Memory of Matt, for Aviation Action ✈️💙

Poppy is running the runways again and I’m being dragged along for the ride! That’s 31 days, 31 distances! We’re doing this in memory of Matt, who was the worlds biggest aviation geek and who we lost far too soon.

Matt absolutely loved everything about aviation. Whether it was driving down the runway, flying out on holiday, or laying in the garden watching the planes. Aviation wasn’t just a passion for him; it was a huge part of who he was.

That’s why we’re supporting Aviation Action, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of those in the aviation industry. It’s a cause that couldn’t be closer to our hearts. The aviation industry can be exhilarating, but it also brings unique pressures and knowing there’s help out there when it's needed most is so important.

Each day in September, we’ll lace up our trainers and run or walk a different distance that matches a real runway somewhere in the world - every single step will be for Matt, to honour his love of aviation, and to help others who are struggling.

We’d be incredibly grateful for your support, whether it’s through a donation, sharing our page, joining us or just cheering us on.

Thank you for helping us keep Matt’s memory flying high 💙✈️
