Running to raise funds for Youth Sport Trust -
to support and empower young people across the UK through play and sport

THE WHY BEHIND THE CHALLENGE

As someone who grew up feeling different, excluded, and not at all confident.
I've since found community and confidence through running and sports.
Sport has given me something I never had as a young person - that's why I'm taking on this challenge and raising money for Youth Sport Trust, so that young people today get to experience the benefits of sport and play much sooner than I did.I also see it as an investment in the future - by investing in young people.
The programmes and initiatives run by YST support inclusion, wellbeing, and focus on reaching under-served communities so that all young people across the UK have an opportunity to experience the benefits, such as increased confidence, happiness, resilience, inclusion, and connection.
