From 21 April 2023 I will be supporting Active Fusion and the 10 More Years Campaign Appeal.

What is the10 More Years Campaign?

Too many children and young people, specifically those living in poverty, do not get access to the required hours of physical activity essential to a healthy childhood.

With reduction in funding, time in education and lack of free provision in communities amplified by the cost-of-living crisis, this situation is exacerbated, leaving many children in situations of physical and mental ill health.

Today, you are part of the first generation in many generations where your own children here in South Yorkshire will have a shorter life expectancy than yourselves. For those living in poverty, the gap is on average closer to 10 years in comparison to the life expectancy of their more affluent peers.

As a charity, Active Fusion use the power of sport and physical activity to lobby for change and equity for all children to be active. Our charity first mission sets out a promise to address this tsunami of inequality, with The campaign fully focused on doing exactly that.

To kickstart the campaign and support the appeal to raise £10,000 in 10 weeks, I will be taking on a series of 10 for 10 Challenges starting with running 10 x 10K in 10 days. That isn't going to be an easy start for me...

Watch this space and will share more of my story along the way.

Can you support me with £5, £10 or £20? Every pound drives the seconds we can buy back for our children.

Raising just £25.00 helps fund 60 minutes of vital 1:1 and group coaching and mentoring for children and young people most in need.

Your donation and kindness can help extend a life and make a difference to the physical and mental health of thousands of young people.

If you do anything, please watch the film, like and share it to 10 of your friends, family and colleagues and encourage them to do the same.

Thank you!
