Story
I am running a half marathon in ski boots at the Great Birmingham Run on the 7th of May 2023 in aid of POW, and as an official Guinness World Record Attempt. Whilst the world record is a personal goal, I wanted to do this alongside raising money for a charity, of which POW is an amazing charity and very apt to the record attempt.
Please see the POW mission statement below for more information:
We help passionate outdoor people become effective climate advocates to achieve systemic solutions to climate change, protecting our world today and for future generations.
As enthusiastic outdoor people, we harness our connection to wild places as a force for positive change. We're a loud, energetic, and insistent outdoor community that influences climate policy to protect the places we love. We see climate breakdown happening in our playgrounds, and we're communicating that message to policymakers.
Help us to protect the places and lifestyles that we love from climate change. Protect our winters. Join us in our goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Help us to bring change in renewable energy, electric transportation carbon pricing policies and prevent fossil fuel extraction on our public lands. We know that the outdoor community will smash this!
