My Story

My running journey started 2 years ago; I was in a horrible place, recently single, in a city I didn’t know, on my own. When I started, I couldn’t run more than a kilometre, but it meant getting out into the local countryside, having a bit of time to my thoughts, and getting myself moving. Over time I got up to a 5km, then a 10km, then it took me the better part of 18 months to get to a half marathon, running my first in September. If you had told me then I would be attempting my first marathon, I would have been amazed. 2 years ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. Through running, I've made friends, raised money, and even inspired one or two people.

Running is a huge part of my life and my health, and a major piece of that is the joy of connecting with the natural world. If we don’t act, and try to restore our planet, we will be heading towards an ecological disaster in our lifetimes. Your donation to WWF will help develop solutions to the climate crisis and restore our natural world. Climate change prevention is incredibly close to my heart, and I hope that for every mile I run, we can give help support that effort even more.

I'm immensely grateful for your donations and support, my family and friends have been absolutely essential in keeping me on my feet. Please donate what you can, and thank you for your consideration.

Love, Christian
