<div>This September, Jake McCormack will take on the biggest physical and mental challenge of his life – the 13 Valleys Ultra, a 180km endurance run through the day, night, and every brutal climb the Lake District can offer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s doing it for one reason: to support military veterans struggling with their mental health through the incredible work of Mode Rehabilitation in Stockport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Jake Is Running</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Two years ago, Jake wasn’t a runner. He had never done a half marathon. Never done a full marathon. Never even considered ultra-running.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then some friends convinced him to join them on an outrageous challenge – the Sea to Summit Trilogy, running over 30 miles each day over the three biggest mountains in the UK (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He threw himself in at the deep end, and something clicked. Since then he has completed multiple long-distance challenges that he never dreamed he’d be capable of, including the 7 Valleys Ultra (110km)... And now he’s stepping up to the next level.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ultra-running has become Jake’s way to find peace, decompress from the pressures of running a business and raising five children, and push himself further than he ever believed possible. And doing it for a good cause gives it even deeper purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Challenge: 13 Valleys Ultra – 180km</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On 25 September, starting at 6:00am, Jake will set off on the 13 Valleys Ultra – the toughest endurance event he has ever faced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Distance: 180km
</li>
<li>Elevation: Thousands of metres across the UNESCO-listed Lake District
</li>
<li>Time: Running through day and night
</li>
<li>Format: No stopping, no resting – just relentless forward progress
</li>
<li>Team: His friend Dean Forrester will be joining him so far, and more friends will be tackling the shorter distances (2, 5, 7, and 13 valley routes)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just a run.
</div>
<div>It’s an all-out test of resilience, endurance, and mental strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters – What Your Donation Actually Does</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jake is raising £1,000 for Mode Rehabilitation, a charity providing mental-health care and crisis support for the Armed Forces community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just £60 allows a veteran in crisis to receive:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Same-day referral
</li>
<li>A triage appointment within 3 days
</li>
<li>A first in-person therapy session within 5–7 days
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That means £1,000 will directly help around 16 veterans receive rapid intervention at the time they need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation truly has a measurable, immediate impact.
</div>
<div><br />
