MILESTONE UPDATE!
?
Yesterday marked the two-week milestone in my 365-day fundraising challenge to support Stem4, and I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support so far. Your kindness, encouragement, and contributions are making a tangible difference in supporting young people’s mental health, and I can’t thank everyone enough for being part of this journey.

This past week was particularly special for me—I ran for the first time since April 2024 after recovering from a significant injury. The run was made more memorable by the route, snow capped Yorkshire Pennines. Returning to running wasn’t easy, and it reminded me of the resilience needed to tackle life’s challenges, both physically and mentally. It’s a small but meaningful victory in a journey that’s not about fitness but about discipline and mental resilience, the same values that Stem4 empowers young people to develop.
In these two weeks:
Activities completed: 14 consecutive days of activities completed (total distance = 105km bike, 10k ran, 700 floors on the Stairmaster). Only small numbers now, but they will only increase as I tackle this challenge.
Donations received: an unimaginable total of ￡3823.
Every step, pedal, or floor climbed reminds me of the young people we’re helping—those who face challenges much harder than running or cycling. Your support helps Stem4 deliver their incredible apps like Calm Harm, Clear Fear, and Combined Minds, offering free, 24/7 clinically approved mental health support to those who need it the most.
