Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The last 12 months has been hard on most of us but for some of our family members, friends or colleagues the last 12 months may have been harder. With the loss of playing rugby and football and it has been running that has gotten me out the house during the pandemic, and at the points when meeting outside was allowed it was the top social activity in my calendar. Paul and I are attempting to put our running and minds to the test over a weekend by running 4 miles every 4 hours during a 48 hour period and we are hoping to raise funds for Mind in the process.

The What
Starting 4am on the 6th March 2021 we will both be running 4 miles at the top of every 4 hour period until 4am on the 8th March. In total we will each cover 48 miles in the 48 hour period. I have checked and I think that the most distance I have covered running in 48 hours is 31 miles and there is a chance I once broke 40 miles walking, so this will be difficult to complete without the rest problems.

The Why
The coronavirus pandemic has not just been a health issue for the direct impact of the virus. With the isolation from friends and family, loss of jobs and the increased stresses of more time at home the impact has created a mental health emergency. Whether we are aware or not most of us will know somebody that has really struggled since the first lockdown and the support that charities like MIND provide will have been a lifeline for some. 

Your support will help us along when we’re going out in the middle of the night for another 4 miles.
