5k a day. Every day. All month.

Having taken up running as a hobby in the late Spring of 2024, it has done me the world of good - not only physically, but mentally too. A win/win if ever there has been one.

In a small way of giving something back, as it were, I've signed up for a modest fundraising exercise over the course of this month (October, 2025) - and eeeeeek - as I sit typing this, there are only 10 days left of the challenge! :-/

So what's the challenge?

"All" I need to do is walk or run a distance of five kilometres (or more) every day of the month. As expected there have already been some days when this hasn't been practical... (attending eBay Open 2025 down at the NEC scuppered Day #1 for starters!) but I've managed to balance up the books by then doing 10k on the following day.

It's going well. The default total I'm aiming for on the fundraiser is a mere £120 - but I'm not there there yet. All funds raised will go directly to the suicide prevention charity "Campaign Against Living Miserably" (or CALM, for short). For more details about this valuable campaign please visit their website

If you'd like to donate to my fundraiser, here's my personal donations page

Thanks so much for any support you might be able to offer.
