Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2020 during the national lockdown, I started to go on a few runs like the majority of people! I found that this has really mentally helped me to stay strong, during what is a tough time for a lot of people. 

I was shown this challenge by my friend Barney, who is also completing it. After much deliberation I decided to do it, although it will be a massive challenge, and my body will certainly not thank me for it after many a running challenge already in the last year! 

The challenge is called the 4x4x48 challenge. It involves running 4miles....every 4 hours....for 48 hours. So this will also be a mental challenge to get me out of bed every 4 hours in the night!

I have chosen to run for the charity, Sport in Mind. Who help to support people’s mental health through sport. Sport has always been a massive part of my life, and I think I’ve always been in a fairly good place with my mental health due to my involvement in sport. So I would like to support this charity to helps others who may be in need of a lifestyle change! 

Any lucozades are most welcome to help me get through the challenge, and if you want to join me for one of my runs then you are more than welcome! Just let me know. 

Thanks in advance, 

Simon Johnson
