Why We Run 2023 - 250km Ultra Marathon

Big Moose are a charity that provide access to therapy within 24 hours to anyone who may need it and will fund it. Not only this, but the early intervention therapy that the charity provide has now saved countless lives. They are on the frontline, helping anyone that needs it. Since January 2022 Big Moose have had 595 referrals, 285 of those referrals have graduated and 21 of those graduates have said that their lives were saved by the intervention and therapy. Therapy should not be a privilege for those that simply can afford it.

Therefore, I am extremely excited to announce that I am running Why We Run in October 2023.

What is it?

This is a 250km race that will see me tackle an average of 50km per day for 5 days, out on the beautiful Welsh coastline... in October ☔️ Needless to say, this is no easy feat, but I am super excited to be amongst this small group of runners raising money for a great cause.

And I didn't even mention the hardest part.. camping for 5 nights in Wales in October. For someone that loves home comforts, eating dehydrated food and staying in a sleeping bag may well be the biggest challenge of the week.

As someone who typically runs marathons (for fun..) I have always been hesitant to ask for monetary contributions. But this is a huge challenge, that quite honestly is bigger than I can comprehend right now, and it's for a truly amazing cause, so I am looking to raise a minimum of £500, and every little bit really counts (seriously.. no donation is too small)!
