100k in 30 days (Running to raise money)

Hello to the people of GoFundMe.

Now before you contemplate swiping away from this page, could I perhaps steal a moment of your time?

Because I’d really like to talk about a pressing matter, that is bound to have affected us all at some point in life, and that’s our mental health.

As on occasion, we can completely disregard or be unaware of how we’re actually feeling inside, because we assume that everything is normal.

Yet on reflection, there may be a lingering emotion, that is interfering with your general wellbeing.

For instance, you might be feeling anxious, isolated, depressed, distracted, or unconfident at times.

And believe you me, I know how that feels. Since I’ve been dealing with these sort of issues, for the last two years now.

When I finally realised and accepted though that I had a problem, it gave me motivation to make some real significant changes in my life.

And one of these is to take on a challenge, that's going to push me physically, mentally, emotionally, creatively and professionally.

While hopefully raising a bit of money for a charity. Who are literally changing lives one mile at a time.

So here what I'm hoping to accomplish…

Throughout July, for 30 consecutive days, I'm running to surpass the target distance of 100km. Or a 100k in 30 days, which is a much catchier title for this.

As a video producer, I’m also going to document this entire journey on social media. To raise awareness of mental heath, show my steady progression and hopefully earn some funds for my chosen charity Speed of Sight.

Who put on phenomenal driving experiences for people who are blind, impaired and disabled.

All of the money raised will go towards the running of their vehicles and funding the experiences for each participant.

For every 5 km I complete in the challenge, I’ll donate £2.50 into a donation pot.

Plus, if I reach my target of £1500.00.

Rather than relaxing on the 31st of July.

I will force myself to complete a 10km run to my Charity’s HQ. And of course that’ll add another fiver in donations from me.

So hopefully if we reach that target. All of this running that I’m doing will certainly come in handy.

Anyway, thank you for hearing me out, and if you’d to see how everything pans out. You can check out the journey on either my IG or TikTok at @ReachMikeHyde.

Where there’ll also be a link in the bio to the donation page.

Now… let’s take this challenge on 1KM at a time, and wish me luck. As my legs are going to be ruined by the end of this!
