Kathryn Livingston - Lesley Thomas - Melanie Goodwin are raising money for First Person Plural
Lands End to John O'Groats Virtual Run/Walk
Event dates: 17th August 2020 – 16th August 2021

Our story
Kathryn, Lesley and Melanie have enrolled with https://endtoend.run/ to complete this challenge. With your support and sponsorship donations we will raise much needed funds for First Person Plural - dissociative identity disorder association. Our challenge is to run and/or walk, mostly in our own local areas (and in Kathryn's case - mostly at home on a treadmill) to complete a distance of 874 miles each, (i.e. the length of the UK mainland from Lands End to John O'Groats), over a period of up to 1 year. This will be no small feat for us as none of us have attempted this kind of challenge before, but we are determined. During the COVID-19 crisis First Person Plural has already lost a significant portion of our regular income because we have been unable to do face to face training. Being both a micro-charity and national makes it difficult for us to access external funding which is largely geared towards either small charities providing services in a defined local area or large national charities. The money we raise by taking up this challenge will help ensure FPP is able to continue its work. This includes facilitating mutual support for adult survivors of childhood abuse who live with complex trauma-related dissociative conditions, such as dissociative identity disorder; and providing information, training and experts-by-experience collaboration to improve acceptance, recognition, diagnosis and access to effective treatments for this group of people.
Thank you for checking out our page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto First Person Plural.

Hurrah - two of us have now completed the challenge. Melanie and I (Lesley) have now reached virtual John O'Groats having set out mid August 2020. It's been a welcome challenge and has certainly helped me through the winter months - encouraging daily exercise. Kathryn has just over 200 miles to go and we are cheering her on from the side lines. Keep going Kathryn! Please continue to give her your support and thank you so much to all those who have donated and sent messages of support so far.

We're all still walking through virtual Scotland at different paces and heading in the right direction! I (Lesley) am now counting down the remaining miles rather than counting upwards - makes sense to me! I'm currently on the A9 heading to Inverness! Thanks again for your continued support.

I (Kathryn) am so excited to have passed the 500 mile mark. Winter and Covid lockdowns have slowed me down but even so I never inagined I would be this far into the challenge after less than 5 months. Continuing support from donors and others who are cheering us on have truly helped keep my motivation up. Both Lesley and Melanie are doing better than me. Melanie having passed 600 miles and Lesley nearer 600 than 500. I am proud of us all and remain grateful to all who are supporting us. Thank you
