JACK, SION & LUKE - Samaritans Emergency Appeal 

The work that the Samaritans do has risen exponentially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone across the country (and indeed the world) has suffered in some way over the past year in a variety of different ways, but mental health is a major part of this. The work the Samaritans do save multiple lives a day - they provide an ear and a voice to those who may not have anyone to confide in, and their work around the clock in this pandemic is extraordinary. We are fundraising for their emergency appeal in order to raise funds tor recruit a bigger workforce and to save even more lives.

For both of us, running is a great way to keep our mental state healthy. Particularly in a period where we have to spend so much time indoors, we have found running to be the perfect escape from lockdown to get much needed fresh air and (sometimes) some sun. While this challenge may not be the most relaxing, we hope by attempting it that we may raise some money for a fantastic cause and also encourage others to give running a go.
