My Story
Hey everyone!
I have decided to take on the challenge of running the 2024 TCS London Marathon for The Outward Bound Trust.
The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity dedicated to unlocking the potential in young people between the ages of 9-25 through learning and adventures in the wild. They challenge young people to never give up, to change their perspective and to learn the most important lesson: to believe in themselves.
Through their residential courses, they equip young people with a stronger sense of self-belief, ability to cope better with stressful situations and interact more positively with others. They develop the attitudes, skills and behaviours young people need to make positive changes in their lives.
They never let financial circumstance stand in the way, with 80% of beneficiaries receiving some level of financial assistance to attend a course at one of 6 outdoor centres across the UK. Your donations will help support those who need it the most.
I went through Outward Bound's 'Mind, Body & Soul' course when I was 17 back in Anakiwa, New Zealand at a time where I found myself to be quite lost for direction and found amazing results as well as making great friends in the process. I now want to give back to an organisation that really did wonders for me when I really it so that it can continue to have a positive impact on many more young lives to come.
Your donations will make a huge impact into transforming the lives of young people, thank you for your support to help me reach my fundraising target.
