Running 261 miles supporting Gary Bush foundation

Cornwall to Kent: A Father’s Journey to Inspire and support The Gary Bush Foundation to raise awareness of asthma to try and prevent anyone going through what Gary did.

Hi, my name is Joe, and I’m about to embark on an epic adventure: running from Cornwall to Kent a journey of over 261 miles. It’s a deeply personal challenge to show my children that nothing is impossible and help support The Gary Bush Foundation to raise awareness of asthma to try and prevent anyone going through what Gary did.

Here’s the thing: I only started running on January 13, 2025. I’m not an experienced runner or a seasoned athlete, just a dad who’s decided to push past the limits I thought I had. This run isn’t about medals or records; it’s about proving to my kids that with determination, grit, and belief, anything can be achieved.

Why I Need Your Support,

The support you show will go towards The Gary Bush Foundation, to help this small but important charity to raise awareness of asthma to try and prevent anyone going through what Gary did. The aim of The Gary Bush Foundation is; 1. To raise knowledge, understanding and conversation around organ donation. 2. To raise awareness of the severity of asthma. 3. To raise funds for charities that have played an important role in Gary's life.

What This Run Means to Me,

I want my kids to see firsthand that it doesn’t matter when you start, it’s about how far you’re willing to go. This is a journey of resilience, persistence, and heart, and I want them to know that life’s biggest challenges can be conquered with the right mindset.

How You Can Help

1. Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way, to helping The Gary Bush Foundation.

2. Share: Help spread the word about this journey by sharing this campaign with your friends and family.

3. Follow My Progress: I’ll be documenting my training, preparation, and the journey itself on this page, so you can see every step I take toward making this dream a reality.

This run is about more than just covering miles, it’s about showing my kids, and maybe even inspiring others, that it’s never too late to take on a challenge and prove to yourself that anything is possible.

Thank you so much for your support. Whether it’s through donations, encouragement, or simply following along, you’re helping me make this dream a reality.

Together, let’s show the world and our kids, that impossible is just a word.
