I’m taking part in 5 in 5 at 50 to help turn miles into meals for our community.

This challenge was inspired by Ron Helmn, who went to war at just 15, served 27 years in the RAF, and later coached thousands of local children at Stanley Park — even while battling cancer. When a memorial run was organised in his honour, the bench it was meant to fund was donated. So the running continued — but this time to collect food for local families.

Today, The Big Food Project still faces a shortfall of around 100,000 meals each year, even after supermarket donations.

That’s why I’m getting involved.

Every £1 raised provides around 2 meals. Every mile moved helps someone eat.

If you can, please donate or share this page. Together, we can make a real difference and help feed our town.
