Story

In 2025, I’ll be tackling two of the most grueling ultra-marathons in the UK to raise funds and awareness for Stoll, a charity that transforms the lives of homeless veterans. Together, we can ensure that those who’ve served our country have a place to call home and the support they need to thrive.

The Challenges

April: 300km Northern Traverse

This coast-to-coast race stretches 300km across Northern England, from St. Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay. Covering rugged terrain, steep climbs, and unpredictable conditions, it’s a true test of resilience and endurance.

September: 360km Dragon’s Back

Dubbed the toughest mountain race in the world, the Dragon’s Back covers 360km over six days along the spine of Wales. With relentless mountain trails, grueling ascents, and unpredictable weather, this challenge will push me to my absolute limits.

Why Stoll?

Stoll is the UK’s leading provider of supported housing for vulnerable and homeless veterans. Their work is critical in helping ex-service personnel rebuild their lives after service. Many veterans struggle with homelessness, PTSD, and unemployment. Stoll offers a lifeline, providing:

Safe and stable housing tailored to veterans’ needs

Mental health support to help veterans cope with trauma

Skills training and employment programs to help veterans reintegrate into society

Since 1916, Stoll has been at the forefront of providing practical, life-changing support to those who’ve served our country.

How You Can Help

By donating to this challenge, you’ll directly support Stoll’s vital work. Your contributions will go toward giving veterans the second chance they deserve, ensuring they have a safe place to live and the resources they need to thrive.

£10 could provide a welcome pack for a veteran moving into their new home.

£50 could contribute to vital mental health support sessions.

£100 could help fund skills training and employment programs.
