Hi all. I along with my stepdad, Stephen Cole, a former student at Loughborough University, have decided to join the £10k Challenge! This challenge is all about raising money to support additional Loughborough student mental health resources needed to ensure we can safeguard those who need additional support in light of this pandemic. We are going to be challenging ourselves physically but it's all for a good cause in joining together with fellow Loughborough alumni, staff and students to support those struggling with their emotional and mental wellbeing in light of the pandemic. My challenge is to run a minimum total of 50km over a consecutive 5 day period. Anybody who knows me well will, know that previously the thought of running just 1km would have filled me with dread! However over the past three months I have got “ the bug” and I am looking forward to this challenge. Stephen, who is slightly more mature than me shall be running 10 minutes every day for 10 consecutive days. These challenges are scheduled to commence on the 8th of March. Your support will help us reach our personal target, and make a big difference to those who need this vital support.Please follow our journey and support us in any way you can!
