4x4x48 (4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours)

4x4x48 challenge 

I am Sam Comiskey, 20 from Colchester. I will be doing the 4x4x48 challenge which consists of running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours (48 miles total) in aid of Mid and North Essex Mind and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. 

The restrictions designed to prevent the spread of coronavirus are having a profound impact on the way we live our daily lives, and in turn, on our mental health. There was already a mental health emergency before coronavirus, and the pandemic has only entrenched inequalities further.

Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. More than 16,000 people have shared their experiences of mental health during the pandemic as part of this research. More than two thirds of adults with mental health problems reported that their mental health got worse during lockdown. As a direct consequence of the pandemic and all that follows, many people who were previously well will now develop mental health problems.  

Mental Health is so prevalent in today's society, I look forward to supporting  Mind who will get people the help they need during this unprecedented time.

Challenge Begins: 8pm Friday 19th March 2021
Challenge Ends: 8pm Sunday 21st March 2021
