Hi, We're Ken and Donald from Northern Marine, part of Team Run for Rees! On Sunday, 13th April, we’ll take on the Half Marathon and 5K Run, covering a combined 124km to raise vital funds for young Care Leavers aged 16–25 across the UK.

Imagine being taken into care as a child—perhaps after suffering abuse, neglect, or the devastating loss of your parents. Instead of the stability of a loving home, these young people often endure multiple moves, new foster carers, or life in a residential home. By the time they leave care, they’ve already faced more than most of us can imagine. And then? They’re left to face the challenges of adulthood—alone. It’s a heartbreaking reality. But together, we can change it. 

We need your help!

  • Sponsor our team: Your logo will feature on our running T-shirts and across our updates.
  • Donate to our cause1736962588_rees_logo.jpg:The funds we raise will support the Rees Foundation, providing crisis grants, emergency housing, energy vouchers, education opportunities, and emotional support—helping these young people not just survive, but thrive.

Together, we can change lives. Please get involved and help rewrite the story for Care Leavers. Thank you! 💛
