What do you do in the middle of a global pandemic?

Not much... or decide to run 1,000 miles in a year.

This challenge will involve me doing far more running on a far more consistent basis than I ever have before.

I doubt I've ever got close to 1,000 miles in a year before, even in those years when I have been marathon training.

In order to give myself a boost to keep going, I've decided to use this challenge to raise money for charity.

The global pandemic and the lockdowns that have come with it have had a major effect on people's mental health, an issue which is rightly getting more publicity than ever before.

I'm certainly not ashamed to say I've had my own issues in the past, and if I can do something to help raise money and awareness then that would be great.

Please give generously.
