Joe is gearing up for an incredible endurance challenge to raise money and bring joy to local children this Christmas. His mission? To help provide gifts for kids who might otherwise go without this festive season.

Across one epic weekend, Joe will be:
 – Running 5km every 5 hours for 50 hours

The challenge takes place from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd November, starting in Longtown, heading through Silloth, returning to Longtown, and finishing up in Langholm.

This episode is more than just a conversation it’s about resilience, community spirit, and using your body to make a difference.
