Couch To 4000K

Couch To 4000k


Right then. I've done something a bit mad.


I've committed to travelling 4,000km entirely under my own power before I turn 40 on 19th January 2027. Running, cycling, hiking, canoeing, swimming - anything self-propelled counts.


But I'm not doing this alone, and I want to make it interesting for everyone who backs me.


Here's how it works:


Donate and pick any number between 1 and 3,999. That's your prediction for how many kilometres I'll actually complete by my 40th birthday. If I don't reach my target of 4000km then whoever's guess is closest to my final total wins £1,000 donation from me to their charity of choice.


It's part fundraiser, part sweepstake, part "let's see if middle age has properly set in."


All the money we raise goes to four charities that matter to me personally - the British Heart Foundation (I've had two heart attacks already), Prostate Cancer UK (too many people I know and love affected by this), CALM (because too many young men take their own lives), and UNICEF (because they do amazing work for kids in the worst environments).


I'll be posting every km logged, every activity, every setback. Follow the full journey at couchto4000k.com


Share this if you know someone who'd love to get involved - or someone who definitely thinks I won't make it.
