The Great British Skip
Bolton, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
Aim
I'm skipping 35 marathons in 35 days across the UK to raise £520K for 52 Lives. This Crowdfunder makes the expedition possible.
What Is The Great British Skip?
Over the years, through Tales to Inspire, delivering kindness workshops in schools and taking on adventures across the UK, one thing has become clear...
Kindness changes lives.
I've experienced strangers offering help when I needed it most, communities opening their doors and simple acts of kindness that stay with you forever.
This challenge is about proving that kindness still exists everywhere—and sharing those stories with the nation.
Why a skipping rope?
Because it's simple.
It's nostalgic.
It's universal.
Just like in a playground, skipping brings people together. I hope this journey does exactly the same.
Why your support matters
This isn't backed by a huge organisation or a big production team.
It's a small group of people with a big idea.
Your donation helps cover the essential costs of the expedition, including:
- 🚐 Travel and support vehicle
- ⛽ Fuel and logistics
- 🍎 Food and recovery
- 🎥 Filming and storytelling
- 📖 Creating a lasting legacy through a documentary and book (stretch goal)
Every pound helps keep the journey moving.
