Event: WWTW & Keep Attacking's 'Longest Day', from 1 June 2021 to 30 July 2021
This summer, set a new PB and go further than you've gone before, running or riding, to raise funds for those who served. We're looking for you to step forward, Keep Attacking and raise £82+, the equivalent of funding a mental health session.

Story

I'm stepping forward, inspired by the story of Brian Wood MC and the good work of Walking With The Wounded to set a new PB this June and go further for those who served. 

At 8pm on 25th June 2021 I'm going to run 1 mile every hour for 24 hours with a total of 24 miles covered. This will be the furthest I have run and the longest I have run for. It is not going to be easy. But I will KEEP ATTACKING and your donations will keep me going. Every £82 funds a mental health session for a veteran - enabling them or their family to reignite their sense of purpose and contribute once more. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
