Why run for us

Our incredible supporter community go above and beyond to raise awareness and funds to change young lives.

Sheldon's 50mile run along the DownsLink Way

I want to raise funds and awareness of the amazing work the housing teams do supporting young people to achieve their goals, despite the challenges life has thrown at them.

Young people respond so positively to these selfless people who show unconditional positive regard for them. Running this distance is as much an ode to their ability to endure and succeed in the face of adversity as anything else.”
