My name is Callum, and after 15 years of struggling with addiction to drugs and alcohol, I’ve decided to take my life back. Today marks Day 19 of my recovery, and I am committed to making 2026 the year everything changes.

To stay focused, disciplined, and healthy, I’ve set myself a challenge: I am running 5km every single day for the entire year.

Why I’m Running

Recovery isn't just about stopping; it’s about moving forward. I’m documenting my daily runs and sharing my story on social media to show others in the same boat that change is possible. The community support I’ve received in just these first 19 days has been overwhelming, and it’s inspired me to do more than just run for myself—I want to run for everyone still struggling.

How the Funds Will Help

I am starting this GoFundMe to support the experts and organizations that save lives every day. I don’t have one single goal; instead, at the end of every month, I will take everything raised and split it between charities dedicated to addiction recovery and mental health.

By donating, you aren’t just supporting my 5K-a-day challenge; you are providing resources for:

• Addiction treatment and outreach.

• Mental health crisis support.

• Community programs that help people find their way back from rock bottom.
