Hi I am Leah a physio from the south coast of England and I plan to run the UTMB route in September 2026.

The UTMB is, it stands for Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc which is a 174km trail run through the Alps with roughy 10000m elevation

Im not a runner and am training up from only being able to run 6k so unlike the professionals I shan’t be completing it in one go - I plan to complete it over 4 days.

As a physio I see first-hand the physical and mental health benefits of spending time outside, and I’m passionate about making those benefits accessible to everyone.

I am running to raise both awareness and funds for improving access to the outdoors for people with disabilities and I’m so proud to be fundraising for Adventure Therapy! An incredible charity based in Devon, in the South West of England.

Adventure Therapy provides outdoor and adventure-led activities to improve emotional and physical wellbeing, focusing on what someone can do rather than the barriers that may have made taking part difficult in the past.

They support people living with mental health conditions, neurodevelopmental disorders, physical disabilities, life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses, and life-changing conditions.

Their work gives people the chance to get outdoors, try something new, build confidence and resilience, and experience the joy and freedom that adventure can bring.

Please help raise awareness by sharing an donating, every little helps!

Thank you
