This a ‘Voyage Into the Unknown’, as I am not sure what I've let myself in for. I thought it was a nice kayak down the Thames, but it turns out I have to run 10k and cycle 25k to get to the boat ... gulp!

I did my first run today (14 Sept) and have less than a month to get ready for a 10k.

Why am I doing this? I’m raising money for a team called Thrive who work with vulnerable young people on the tough Barton estate in Oxford. Thrive live on the estate, they’re there 24/7 and they’re seeing the lives of young people turned around.

As a Dad, I like the thought of raising money for children, so this is why I am asking for your help.

On October 16th, I’m going to complete the Thrive Sponsored Challenge: I’ll run 10km along trails, mountain bike 25km and kayak 1km. And all you have to do is click the DONATE button.

Please give as much as you are able. 

Thank you for your support.
