Where is the most bleak place on planet earth?

I can tell you, I’ve been there.

The ‘bereavement room’.

When my wife and I went for a scan for our baby around 14.5 weeks, we were ushered into a room after we had been told that our baby had unfortunately passed due to a chromosomal disorder. I remember the room. The dilapidated furniture, the outdated pictures on the walls. Bleak.

I want my donation goal to go to something tangible. I’ve spoken with the hospital and they are committing to redecorating and transforming those rooms.

Although I know a room can’t change the outcome, I know how it can make a difference to helping people feel warm and safe in a sad and scary environment.

I want to bring brightness into a bleak place.

So.. what’s the challenge.

I wanted to do something utterly bleak, something that is so far out of my comfort zone.

On May 4th 2025 I will be running 100 km between 2 cones set 160 metres apart on Southsea Seafront.

I will be running for over 15 hours and this will be the hardest thing I have ever undertaken.

I want to use it as a vehicle to raise money and transform a place so, utterly bleak.
