Dedicated SOHK supporter, Anthony Russell is taking on the Centurion South Downs Way 100-mile race to raise vital funds for our work on 14 June 2025.

As a former rugby player and the parent of a rugby-obsessed child, this challenge is deeply personal to Anthony. With a strong connection to education through family, he understands the struggles faced by students in challenging circumstances.

Why take the challenge for SOHK?

Across the UK, too many young people are excluded from school due to poverty, mental health struggles, and instability. With 300,000 suspensions in one term and 3,500 permanent exclusions, the need for support has never been greater. SOHK fills this gap, using sport, mentoring, and personal development to build resilience, engagement, and brighter futures.

By running 100 miles, Anthony's fundraiser is pushing his personal limits while helping us in our efforts to level the playing field for more young people struggling in their education in the UK today.
