Story

Hello and thanks for getting this far!

This December, I'm taking on a challenge that will push me to my limits—and I need your support!

I’m running 100 miles over the course of 7 days to raise money for Active Fusion’s, as part of the 'When You Tri' campaign. Active Fusion is a charity committed to helping children and young people build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love for sport and fitness.

Between 2nd - 8th December 2024, i'll be running 100 miles in a week, which is a minimum of around 15 miles a day.

That's tough, but I’m adding a few extra hurdles.

I’ll be doing this while working full-time, typically driving over two hours daily on my commute, and taking care of my amazing, energetic 7-year-old son. Every day will be a balancing act, but I believe this journey is worth it—not just to test my own limits but to help kids everywhere get active, dream big, and aim higher.

Why 100 Miles?

Running 100 miles in a single week requires intense commitment, both mentally and physically. Balancing this with a job, family, and a packed schedule will be a true test of endurance. It’s a way for me to show that, with the right support, we can overcome any barrier—just like the young people Active Fusion helps every day.

Why Active Fusion?

Active Fusion does incredible work across South Yorkshire, empowering young people through sport and physical activity, focusing on helping children who might face barriers to physical activity, giving them opportunities to thrive both on and off the field. The 'When You Tri' campaign is specifically focused on empowering people to reach their full potential, asking them to create their own challenges. Whether that's Active Fusion's Founder and Director, Lindsy James, completing a 100km triathlon, or other members of the Active Fusion team competing in Tough Mudder, scaling the Yorkshire 3 Peaks or covering all sorts of distances on the bike, in the pool or out on the road.

How You Can Help

Every donation, big or small, will go directly to Active Fusion and help them reach even more children. With your support, we can give these young people access to transformative programs that can change their lives. You’ll be helping me push through each mile, no matter how early the mornings or late the nights.

Please donate today to help make a difference. Your generosity can empower young people to try new things, set new goals, and discover their full potential. Let’s make this run count for something bigger than any of us!

Thank you for supporting me, cheering me on, and helping Active Fusion inspire the next generation.

Let’s get to the finish line together!
