Story

We are embarking on a remarkable journey to run the London Marathon 2025 in support of The Salvation Army. Our mission is to combat modern slavery with every step we take, aiming to raise £5,000 to aid survivors in rebuilding secure lives.

Our story began with challenging adventures, from cycling the South Downs Way (100 miles) in a Day on mountain bikes to an unsupported ride from Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) on touring bikes, covering a total of 1,000 miles. We then embarked on a bike-packing expedition from St David’s in Pembrokeshire to Lowestoft, spanning 435 miles. We will stretch ourselves with further events including the Abingdon Marathon in October’24.

As passionate advocates for shared mini-adventures and challenges, we are determined to utilise our love for these experiences to garner sponsorship for The Salvation Army. Our previous LEJOG ride raised an astounding £10,000 for the charity, supporting refugees, addiction services, and domestic abuse causes.

The Salvation Army's unwavering commitment to providing unconditional friendship and practical assistance to those in crisis resonates deeply with us. With over 800 social service centers and community churches in the UK and Republic of Ireland alone, their impact is truly remarkable. Join us as we continue our journey towards the London Marathon 2025 and stand against modern slavery.

We are driven by an unwavering passion for advocating for those in need and are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of survivors of modern slavery.

Please support our cause by contributing towards our target amount of £5,000 as we prepare for the London Marathon 2025.
