Matthias 500miles

I'm gonna be 500 miles...

I am looking to complete my toughest challenge yet, by far. From February 1st to March 11th 2024, I am going to run the equivalent of a half marathon (13.1miles/21.1km) each day for a total of 524miles/844km in 40 days. Hopefully, I will be able to recover in time to also run the full London Marathon on April 21st.

I will be raising money for the Lord's Taverners (LT). LT works across the UK to provide inclusive and impactful cricket programmes, empowering young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to overcome the challenges of inequality, raise their aspirations, and reach their potential.

I was lucky enough to work on a project with the Lord's Taverners for 3 months in 2022 and to see for myself what a difference they make by providing a community to those kids and young adults.

Your donations will go a long way towards helping the charity put together their programmes that have supported so many kids. The programmes have had a real impact on young people's lives by giving them - on top of the sports aspect - something we often take for granted - someone who listens, cares and engages with them.

For the half marathons, I would welcome people to run any distance with me (I will be running mostly in Madrid and Vienna). For the full marathon, you will be able to contribute songs to my playlist.

For a donation of £25 you can add one song, up to a maximum of 4 songs for £100. Anything (of a reasonable length) goes!!...as long as I can play it on Spotify.

BRING. IT. ON.
