Lap of Lough Neagh

On Thursday July 4th I will run a lap of Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles. The route around is expected to be roughly 80 Miles (approximately 130km). This will be by far the toughest challenge I have ever set myself.

I thought this would be a great opportunity to try and raise some money for a good cause.

I'm hoping to raise money for Barnardo's as well as The Running Charity. Both of which work with children and young people to help turn their lives around. I believe that the earlier you can help to turn someone's life around and get them on the right path the better, and the impact that can be made from that when compounded over the years can become massive.

Barnardo's mission: We are here because too many children and young people across the UK are missing out on a good childhood, and on the opportunity to thrive when they become adults.

We’ll continue to be here for as long as we’re needed – working with children and young people to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.

The Running Charity: Our mission is to nurture young people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and help them reach their full potential. We do it through our running and personal development programmes and by creating a supportive community.

Any donations, no matter how small, are massively appreciated. If you are unable to contribute, a share for others to see can go a long way!

Thank for your generosity and support,

Jack
