106 Km Ultra Challenge for the Foodbank

Hello there and well done for making it this far. Grab a bacon roll and keep on reading…

I am running around the IoW on the 10th July to raise money for my local food bank.  (https://ultrachallenge.com/isle-of-wight-challenge/)

Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A simple box of food makes a big difference, with foodbanks helping prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems

In 2020/21, The Trussell Trust’s Foodbank Network provided 2,537,198 three-day emergency food supplies and support to UK people in crisis. Of these, 980,082 went to children.

I love running and I love food, they both seem to go hand in hand and to keep everything balanced I end up doing more of both.  I, like you I am sure, do not go to bed wondering if there will be breakfast in the morning – debilitating to say the very least and we can help.

I am raising money for my local FOOD BANK to help those I probably walk past on the street every day living in this poverty.

Please join me by chipping in 1p for every Km I will run (106)
