</div>
<div>August 2026
</div>
<div>Greg is undertaking one of the most demanding charity endurance challenges imaginable:
</div>
<div>A 1,250-mile (2,000 km) self-supported ultramarathon from Łódź, Poland, to Skegness, United Kingdom, passing through:
</div>
<div>Poland → Germany → Netherlands → Belgium → France → United Kingdom
</div>
<div>in just 18 days and nights.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="103208779_1778137858998792_r.jpg" media_type="null" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/103208779_1778137858998792_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not a race.
</div>
<div>This is a mission to help children who have experienced hardship most of their young lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="103208779_1778137949114401_r.jpg" media_type="null" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/103208779_1778137949114401_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>THE PURPOSE
</div>
<div>This challenge is being run to raise funds and awareness for children who have never had the chance to experience a proper holiday.
</div>
<div>Funds raised will directly support:
</div>
<div>(Children’s Home) in Łódź, Poland
</div>
<div>Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Home in Skegness, UK
</div>
<div>These organisations provide vulnerable children — many from traumatic or unstable backgrounds — with something most take for granted:
</div>
<div>a safe, positive, and unforgettable first holiday experience.
</div>
<div>For some of these children, it will be their first time seeing the sea, the countryside, or simply feeling safe away from hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‍♂️ THE CHALLENGE
</div>
<div>Greg will be running:
</div>
<div>Approximately 65-75 miles per day
</div>
<div>For 17/ 18 consecutive days
</div>
<div>Across five countries .From Poland → Germany → Netherlands → Belgium → France → Skegness in United Kingdom
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No support team, no pre-planned assistance. So no Hotels,food, no money or any other payment options. This journey depends entirely on the generosity and humanity of the people Greg meets along the way .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“There will be no pre-arranged support before the start of the challenge. After the run begins and the route is public, supporters will be able to help from a distance by funding food and overnight stays along the route.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="103208779_1778194094963181_r.jpg" media_type="null" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/103208779_1778194094963181_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Managing sleep, recovery, and navigation while in constant motion.
</div>
<div>This challenge pushes the limits of physical and mental endurance.
</div>
<div>Fatigue, injury risk, sleep deprivation, and extreme exhaustion are expected realities — not exceptions.
</div>
<div>Every single day will be a battle:
</div>
<div>“Can I take one more step?”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>WHY THIS MATTERS
</div>
<div>Across the UK and Poland, there are thousands of children who:
</div>
<div>Have lost parents through tragedy or crisis
</div>
<div>Live in unsafe or unstable environments
</div>
<div>Have been placed into care with very little personal belonging
</div>
<div>Have never experienced a real holiday or time away from hardship
</div>
<div>Some children arrive in care with nothing more than a plastic bag of belongings.
</div>
<div>Others grow up without ever seeing the sea, mountains, or countryside beyond their immediate surroundings.
</div>
<div>This project exists to change that — even for a moment.
</div>
<div>WHAT YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS
</div>
<div>Every donation contributes directly to:
</div>
<div>Holiday experiences for vulnerable children
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="103208779_1778193987225440_r.jpg" media_type="null" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/103208779_1778193987225440_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Safe accommodation and structured care programmes
</div>
<div>Clothing, toys, and basic essentials
</div>
<div>Transport and activity funding for holiday breaks
</div>
<div>Creating memories that many children have never had the chance to experience
</div>
<div>Even a small donation can help provide a child with a moment they will never forget.
</div>
<div>UK &amp; POLAND — ONE SHARED CAUSE
</div>
<div>This is a cross-border initiative supported by communities in both the UK and Poland.
</div>
<div>With media interest from outlets such as BBC , this project aims to highlight one simple message:
</div>
<div>Geography does not divide compassion.
</div>
<div>WHY GREG IS DOING THIS
</div>
<div>Greg has previously undertaken extreme endurance and charitable challenges, including long-distance runs and high-altitude expeditions, always with one purpose:
</div>
<div>to support people in need through action, not words.
</div>
<div>This challenge is the most ambitious to date — and entirely dedicated to children who deserve a better start in life.
</div>
<div>⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE
</div>
<div>This is a fully committed endurance challenge.
</div>
<div>Greg will be running with limited external support, relying on human kindness along the route for food, rest, and basic necessities where needed.
</div>
<div>YOU CAN BE PART OF THIS JOURNEY
</div>
<div>You do not need to run 1,250 miles.
</div>
<div>You only need to help make each mile count.
</div>
<div>Every contribution, large or small, helps turn this challenge into real impact for children who need it most.
</div>
<div>ONE MESSAGE
</div>
<div>Poland + United Kingdom = One mission
</div>
<div>Giving children the childhood they deserve
</div>
<div>GIVE FIVE
</div>
<div>Because sometimes the simplest act — reaching out a hand — can change a life.
