WhyWeRun was created to move for more than miles. Through our Wales charity challenge, runners, crew, supporters and partners come together to raise funds for bigmoose, helping people access mental health therapy.

As of October 2026, our community has raised £244,631.42. Every contribution is part of that shared impact.

What that support can fund

At £100 per therapy session, the total raised is equivalent to funding 2,446 complete sessions. With average four sessions in a round, that is equivalent to 611 complete rounds of therapy.

These are two ways of expressing the same fundraising total. Figures are rounded down and describe funding capacity, rather than the number of sessions delivered or individual people supported.

  • Our Growing Impact

    From our first Wales challenge in 2022 to today, runners, crew, supporters and partners have helped raise £244,631.42 for bigmoose.

    These totals show the collective fundraising at each stage of our journey. Every contribution helps make mental health support possible.

Real People. Real Impact.

Through every step taken, every mile run and every pound raised, you’ve helped make mental health support possible.

Behind the fundraising are people finding hope, rebuilding their lives and seeing a future they once struggled to imagine.

173 people have told bigmoose its support saved their life.

Without being asked, they shared that they wouldn’t be here without that help. Behind each of those words is a person, a family and a future.

This is the impact we create together. This is WhyWeRun.

The difference therapy can make

"Bigmoose saved my life! hand on heart I wouldn't be here without you all and everything you do. For the first time i can see a future and that there is hope. therapy with bigmoose has given me a chance at life i didn't think i would get. i owe bigmoose everything, i came into this process broken alone and scared and i'm leaving knowing i can stand on my own two feet, with good people behind me and the courage to try again. thank you from the bottom of my heart you are real life superheroes."

Jeff - CEO bigmoose

"In 2022 WhyWeRun was born, out of a promise one man made to another, that he would help bigmoose mental health charity fund their life saving services.
Since that promise was made, and kept, WWR and it’s beautiful community has funded hundreds, yes hundreds of people struggling with their mental health, through therapy, resulting in testimonials that lives have been measurably improved and in some cases, saved.
Your fundraising has power, power to help others, and as you pledge to help WWR and bigmoose, we pledge to continue to support those going through dark times, together as a team we can change lives, thank you 🙏"
