Run my age for Reach

Steph Duke is raising money for Reach Mentoring Ltd

Run my age! (38m/62k) · 11 April 2026

Reach is a mentoring organisation that seeks to support young people at risk of educational exclusion and struggling with behaviour and emotional difficulties. We endeavour to help them to identify areas of change and then empower them to set their own obtainable targets to Reach their goals.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I turn 38 this week and wanted to set myself a little birthday challenge 🎉🏃🏻‍♀️ - to run my age! This weekend I’ll be attempting to run a backyard-style ultra of 38 miles / 62k 😲🫣 around Loughgall lake!! It should be around 31 laps of the lake (2k each lap). Not entirely sure I’ll actually be able to run the whole way, but I’ll give it a jolly good go if it means I can raise a little money for a charity close to my heart.

Reach’s Mission Statement is this:

“Compelled by love for Christ, Reach Mentoring exists to enable young people to unleash their full potential. It creates positive, informing, and empowering mentoring relationships while working in partnership with local schools, churches, and relevant agencies”

Every single young person deserves someone who advocates for them, someone who fights in their corner, someone who cares not only for them, but about them too. If you’d like to donate to the important work of Reach in our local schools and support me in my fundraising efforts, it would be so appreciated. Thank you!

“For the young people we mentor weekly, Reach is essential. It is a lifeline in their week where they can speak to a trusted adult.” - Volunteer Mentor
