About the Yorkshire Wolds Way 160-Mile Challenge
From Friday 27 to Sunday 29 June, Paul Spence – founder and CEO of Hull-based charity P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery – along with long-time supporter Lee Thompson, will embark on a physically and mentally demanding 160-mile running challenge along the iconic Yorkshire Wolds Way. The duo will set off from the Humber Bridge and run to Filey and then looping back towards the Humber Bridge, aiming to complete the route in just 45 hours – running day and night to raise funds for the charity.
The Yorkshire Wolds Way is a renowned National Trail that winds through some of the most scenic and hilly terrain in the region.
Paul and Lee’s route will pass through:
- South Cave
- Market Weighton
- Goodmanham
- Millington
- Thixendale
- Wharram Le Percy
- Sherburn
Before reaching Filey and looping back towards the Humber Bridge.
“This will be one of the most demanding challenges I’ve ever undertaken,” said Paul. “But every step is worth it to raise awareness and vital funds for the people we support at P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery. I myself have experienced the battles people face after brain injury, and our mission is to support our service users to rebuild their lives. “That’s what keeps us going – even through the toughest miles.”
By getting involved in this event, your kindness will ensure that more people can get the help they deserve after brain injury.
Sessions and activities ultimately help service users to:
- Avoid crisis
- Manage a life-changing disability which can often be invisible’ to others
- Learn to accept that they have a chronic condition
- Feel understood and supported amongst new friends that share a similar lived experience
- Have an improved quality of life and reach their new potential
