I'm taking part in the #Brake5 Challenge for Road Safety Week to raise funds for Brake, the road safety charity.

In July 2020, I lost my mum to a road traffic accident at the age of 59. This has had a profound impact on my whole family having experienced, first hand, the pain of losing someone on the road.

Every day, five people die on UK roads. Road crashes are devastating events for everyone involved. When the worst happens, Brake’s National Road Victim Service is there to help. Brake supports hundreds of families affected by road crashes each month. All funds raised through the #Brake5 Challenge will help Brake provide more care for road victims and campaign for safe roads for everyone.

At the start of 2023, I completed the ‘couch to 5k’ programme. Having never ran for more than 10 seconds before, I have found this a great way to channel my grief and give myself a focus; improving both my physical and mental health. To raise money for Brake Charity, I will be running 50km over 5 days. Any donation you can make for this amazing charity, which has given so much support to my family as they come to terms with our loss, would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your support!

Much love

Paul
