On 8th July I will be attempting to run 100km… in one go. 

That’s 62 miles. To put that into perspective, that’s like running a whole marathon, finishing, then turning around and running the entire marathon again, finishing, and then going for another 10 miles… in one go. 

But that’s not all, in order to have even the slightest chance of being able the finish line in July I will have to run 1287 miles in training. 

I know what you’re thinking: “Why would do such a thing!?” 

Here's why….

“Because of Limitless Festival I feel closer to God than I have ever.”  

“I realised that no matter how lonely I feel, I have a family around me that I never quite realised.”

“After struggling with depression for years and continually getting worse, I felt like I could breathe again for the first time in as long as I can remember, and I felt peace and joy differently to anything I have felt in years.”

“I gave my life to Jesus after realising for the first time that he has already forgiven me for my sins and that he sees and has seen everything but still loves me nonetheless. Even when I turned my back on him, he never turned his back on me.”

“God has helped me this week and changed my life. Before I came here I didn’t even feel like there was any point in living, and now I am a Christian and I feel happy.”

“I have been crippled by low self esteem and an eating disorder for as long as I can remember and now it is as though I am experiencing life through a whole new pair of eyes … I have never been so free or felt so loved. “

“Wow Limitless, thank you, I have never felt so full.” 

These are all stories from Limitless Festival 2023, a summer gathering for youth at young adults, where more than 4000 of us came together, and where a truly remarkable 480 people responded to the gospel!

It truly is hard to put into words the transformative power of gathering like this, but creating this environment in which young people’s lives are changed forever is easier said than done. 

In fact, in order to keep this space alive for young people we have to find a way to raise a minimum of an additional £60,000 per year. 

So yes, running 100km is going to be extremely difficult, but if it means we can keep Limitless Festival going for these young people then it will be worth every single step. 

So I’m asking you to help me get through those miles, and help us make Limitless Festival happen for the thousands of young people who value it so much.

Thank you so much - see you on the trail!
