We raise funds for homeless young people to transform their lives through running

Story

We will be climbing Ben Nevis (1345m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1085m) all in 24 hours to raise money for the Running Charity. This is a challenge led by Hardest - a non profit mental health organisation.

This challenge is difficult in summer conditions, so taking it on in winter will make it all the more gruelling. It consists of roughly 40km of trekking up and down the mountains, in winter climates with temperatures dropping below zero and a total elevation gain of 3408m.

Any donations will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

The Running Charity - believes that running is as good for your mind as it is for your body. Running builds resilience and self-esteem, and we use this to improve the lives of 16-25 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Homelessness can happen at any time and to anyone. And when it happens to a young person it can affect them for the rest of their life. We use running to improve fitness and instil a goal-setting mentality that are key tools in helping these vulnerable young people to build healthy, sustainable futures.

HARDEST - Is a non-profit mental health organisation with the purpose of directly supporting those struggling with their mental health. They deliver programmes that develop resilience, instil motivation and improve mental health
