Help Me Make a Difference for Teesside's Youth – Backyard Ultra Challenge

On May 17th, I’ll be taking on a serious challenge – running God's Own Backyard Ultra , and I’m hoping you’ll join me in supporting a cause that’s close to my heart.

As someone who grew up on Teesside, I’ve seen first-hand the incredible potential in our youth, as well as the challenges many young people face. That’s why I’ve decided to raise money for two fantastic local charities that are dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of young people in our community.

These charities work tirelessly to provide mentorship, support, and opportunities for personal growth to young people in Teesside, helping them overcome adversity and reach their full potential. Whether it’s through music, education, or emotional support, these organisations are there to lift up the next generation, and I’m passionate about helping them continue their amazing work.

But I need your help. Your donations will go directly to these charities, and every penny will make a positive impact on the lives of young people in Teesside.

The Backyard Ultra is no easy feat – I’ll be running a 4.2-mile loop every hour, for as long as I can keep going. The goal is to push myself to the limit, just like these young people do every day, overcoming obstacles and striving for a better future. It’s going to be tough, but I know the difference your support will make will keep me going.

Please donate if you can, and help me make this challenge count. Together, we can support these incredible charities and the young people who need it most. Let’s show Teesside what we’re made of!

Thank you so much for your generosity and support. It means the world to me – and to the young people we’ll be helping.
