I am attempting to run/walk the equivalent of the length of the UK completing a Virtual challenge which will take me virtually from Lands’ End to John O’Groats around my local area and surrounding moorlands to raise money for Bolton & Radcliffe Cats Protection. I have decided to combine my joy of running long distances and Cats to embark on a 1084 miles (1,743 km) challenge.

Hopefully I would like to finish this adventure by my wife's birthday on 28th February 2026. I will be covering between 120 and 150 miles per month.

I have a keen interest in supporting this charity which is very important to my wife Tonya and myself. I have seen how hard all the volunteers work with rehoming, Trapping and Neutering and wanted to help in my own small way.

We have fostered many cats and currently we share our home with 2 rescue cats.

Another benefit of this challenge is the pledges to plant trees and help reduce plastic in the oceans which was another positive reason to embark on this challenge.

I would like to raise £1084 and any money raised will be put to good use within the branch.

Cats Protection is the biggest cat charity in the UK. We are a dedicated community of passionate employees, volunteers, supporters and partners, working together to make life better for millions of cats and the people who care for them.

We’re working towards a society where every cat is treated with kindness and respect.

Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.
