Organised by Chapter2Chapter2 has a growing waiting list of boys in Reading who have no contact with their dad and need a male mentor. We are seeking to raise £100K by walking 100KM in 24 hours to help more fatherless boys in need of a guide.
100KM Ridgeway Challenge · 17 June 2023 ·
In Reading and the surrounding areas, there are approximately 100,000 boys. By the time these boys are 15 years of age, roughly 1 in 2 of them will not be living with both parents. The vast majority will be living with their mother and risk losing contact with their father.
These boys will grow up to face far more challenges than your average boy. Unemployment, academic failure, depression, chronic illness, anxiety and poverty later in life are all far more likely for fatherless boys.
So on Father's Day weekend 2023, a group a brave group of people will be setting out to walk (or run) 100KM into Reading in just 24 hours. Their ultimate challenge is to raise £100K to bring an end to the fatherless crisis.
Please support Chapter2 as we see to write hope into the fatherless story.
