Story

Starting on the 1st January 2019 I will be taking on my dream challenge of running 40 races throughout 2019. I am doing this because the NSPCC are doing everything they can to protect children today and prevent abuse tomorrow. A child abuse image offence is recorded every 23 minutes in the UK. 

The NSPCC needs our support so we can all try to transform society for every childhood, please give what you can as every £1 really does make a difference. 

The 40@40 challenge will include: 10 x half marathons, 20 x 10 k runs, 10 x 5 k park runs.

If you would like to join me for a run during this challenge please get in touch it would be great to have your support.
