💙 Help Me Get to Berlin for Mental Health UK! 🇩🇪🏃‍♂️

Now the dust has settled, I’m reaching out to ask for a little help in raising £450 for Mental Health UK. I’ve already raised £135, so I’m well on my way!

As some of you may know, I’m currently working my way through the SuperHalfs challenge — six half marathons across Europe. 🌍

2026 has been a busy year, having already completed four of the six races:
🇵🇹 Lisbon – March
🇨🇿 Prague – March
🏴 Cardiff – October
🇪🇸 Valencia – October

Both Lisbon and Prague, and Cardiff and Valencia, were just three weeks apart! 🥵😂

The next stop is Berlin in April 2027 🇩🇪

Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in the ballot for a place, but there is another way to secure my spot by running for charity. If I can raise £450 by January, I can guarantee myself a place while raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

I’ve chosen Mental Health UK because its work ties in so closely with everything we stand for at Port Hikes CIC — encouraging people to get outdoors, get moving, talk openly and support one another with their mental wellbeing. 💙

I don’t usually ask people for help with anything personal, but this would mean a lot to me. It would save me having to wait another 12 months to try my luck in the ballot again, with no guarantee of getting a place, while also helping raise funds for a fantastic cause.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, would be massively appreciated. If you can’t donate, a share of this post would mean just as much in helping me reach the target.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and supported me along the way. Hopefully, with your help, I’ll be taking on Berlin next April! 💙🏃‍♂️

Over half way through my training plan for the Cardiff and Valencia Half’s in October. 

Then a few weeks rest and straight back into my Berlin prep for 2027 👌🏻

SuperHalfs Challenge 5 out of 6 🇩🇪 🏃‍♂️

Friday 7th Aug
As some of you may already know, I’m currently on a mission to complete the SuperHalfs series – six of Europe’s biggest half marathons.

There used to be a five-year time limit to complete the series, but due to how difficult it has become to secure places through the ballots, that rule has now been relaxed. However, being me, I’d still love to complete all six in just 18 months! 💪

🇩🇪 Berlin – Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful in the ballot. However, I can guarantee myself a place in March 2027 by raising £450 for a charity (75% of this needs to be raised by January).

I’ve chosen Mental Health UK because the work they do is closely aligned with what Port Hikes CIC is all about – supporting people’s mental health, encouraging people to get outdoors, and bringing communities together. 💙

If you’d like to support me and this fantastic cause, any donation, no matter how big or small, would be hugely appreciated.

Here’s how the challenge is going so far:

✅ 🇵🇹 Lisbon – Completed in March 2026 after securing a place through the resale ballot.

✅ 🇨🇿 Prague – Missed out in the ballot but managed to buy a transfer place from someone who could no longer run. Completed just three weeks after Lisbon.

🤞 🇬🇧 Cardiff – Successfully secured a ballot place and will be running in October 2026.

🤞 🇪🇸 Valencia – Unsuccessful in the ballot, but thankfully secured another transfer place, meaning I’ll be running another two half marathons within three weeks this October.

That will leave just 🇩🇰 Copenhagen, where I’m hoping to secure a place when the ballot opens for September 2027.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far—whether that’s through donations, encouragement, or cheering me on. Here’s hoping I can complete the full set! 🏅💙
