The mission

The biggest challenge of my life.

I have completed the biggest physical challenge of my life: skipping the length of the UK, over 1,020 miles, 39 marathons in 40 days. It was about more than endurance. The mission to uncover and spotlight kindness from every corner of the UK continues.

In today's society, it feels like kindness is needed now more than ever. Kindness is contagious. On average, one act of kindness spreads to 125 people — so imagine what could happen if people across the country felt inspired to be kinder.

The goal

£520,000 for 52 Lives and the School of Kindness.

Every pound raised supports 52 Lives and the School of Kindness, enabling them to continue their fully funded kindness workshops in schools across the UK — empowering the next generation and continuing to change the world for the better, one life at a time.

The charity

52 Lives & the School of Kindness.

52 Lives is a charity dedicated to changing lives through kindness — supporting individuals in crisis and embedding kindness into the next generation through their School of Kindness programme, which delivers free workshops to schools across the UK.

The challenge

Land's End to John O'Groats. By rope.

From Cornwall to John O'Groats, I have completed over 1,020 miles, 39 marathons in 40 days. The physical challenge is finished, but everyone can still share their own stories of kindness, donate, and take part in school fundraisers to help the impact grow.

Skipping the UK

Stories of kindness

Your stories. One country.

Beyond the completed skip, we're still collecting and sharing stories of kindness from schools, communities, organisations and individuals across the UK — proof that kindness is alive everywhere.
