Free entry to the race, free running vest and support with training and fundraising. ALL THAT WE ASK IN RETURN IS: Each runner raises a minimum of £200.00 in sponsorship. Support the events that we organise by selling tickets, getting raffle prizes, get involved and attend. All donations will go towards our work and helping to change the lives of vulnerable young people in the Bath and North East Somerset community. Over half a million young people in England are suffering with a mental illness right now and in the South West the problem is serious. In Bath and North East Somerset alone, it is estimated that over 4,000 young people have a mental health condition. Last year, we helped 1000 young people feel better about themselves and their lives but the waiting list for our counselling and support services continues to grow. We want to live in a community and a world where no young person is suffering in silence and where our doors can always be open to support those in need. Fundraising and running for us in events such as
DID YOU KNOW? £10 buys a young person the chance to be heard in a listening support session. £30 buys a counselling session for a young person in crisis. £100 keeps our doors open longer to help more young people in need.
