help support our homeless veterans with VICs
Donation protected
Me and Bobby Robson are doing a challenge in October, for a charity very close to our hearts, and close to many others. As are all charity’s, it’s called Veterans In Crisis Sunderland and it’s a charity which supports the homeless, people with PTSD, mental health issues, family problems and many more. It’s a charity based in Sunderland.
The challenge is called the October 300, bit cheesy I know but I couldn’t think of a better name basically what We are going to do is.... run 10 mile a day, everyday for 30 days straight in October, plus the virtual London marathon on the 4th of October. Me and bobby are obviously taking a massive challenge on here, 300 mile each which is the equivalent from Sunderland to Southampton !!!
