Story

Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

On the 3rd of June 2023, I will start the 1st mile of a 1000 as I run from Land's End to John O'Groats (the bottom of Britain to the top.) It is a world's first in that this route has never been done before, and the first time it's ever been done as an organised event as part of a group. I will be one of 40 people attempting it as we run about 33 miles (52km) a day, on average, 6 days a week. It's a 1000 mile adventure, boasting over 70,000ft of elevation and spanning the entire length of Great Britain, on an exclusive route that is 50% off road. I am excited and dreading it in equal measure. More about Run Britannia can be found here: https://ratracerunbritannia.com 

With this in mind, I'm looking to raise funds for a local charity, Little Gate Farm. Little Gate specialises in finding paid jobs for adults with learning disabilities and autism, giving them all the support they need to learn the role, adapt to their new workplace and become a real asset to their employer. Little Gate believes that everyone has the right to train for, find and thrive in paid employment. They work with families and businesses across East Sussex and Kent to make this vision a reality. More about the work they do can be found on their website: https://www.littlegate.org.uk

Having heard about the charity through my cousin, who works alongside some of the adults with learning disabilities and autism as they enter the workplace, I thought it was a really great cause and one that I'd be really proud to support any way that I could. 

Any donations you're able to give to the charity will be much appreciated by myself, but more importantly to them. Please help support the incredible work they do. 

Thank you very much, 

Jack
