Run2Help, organised by Doors 2 Floors, a Batley-based company keen to give something back to the community, will see runners make the journey from Dickys Gym in Batley to the forget me not Hospice in Huddersfield.

Among those lacing up their running shoes are the British and Commonwealth super middleweight and European super-middleweight Champion, Callum Simpson, Sylwia Doligala, the Central Area Champion, Jasmina Zapotoczna, the EBU Flyweight and WBA International Champion, along with Nabil Ahmed, Cory O'Regan, and Jimmy First, a former Central Area Champion.

Speaking ahead of the run, Mark Hurley, of Dicky's Gym in Batley, added: "We've always believed in using our sport as a force for good. The Run2Help challenge is about more than just fitness — it's about showing solidarity and giving something back to the community that supports us. We're honoured to help raise money for Forget Me Not Children's Hospice."

The initiative has been brought to life by Doors 2 Floors, whose managing director, Ismaeel Basar, said: "As a local business, we feel it's important to stand alongside the causes that matter most to our community. Organising Run2Help has been a real privilege — and seeing the support from gyms, boxers, and the public shows just how powerful this kind of event can be."

Gareth Pierce, chief executive of the hospice, said: "We're so grateful to everyone taking part in Run2Help. Events like this not only raise crucial funds but also help spread awareness of the work we do. Every step these runners take will make a real difference to the lives of the children and families we support."

Organisers are inviting the public to get involved — whether by donating, running alongside the champions, or cheering them along the 8-mile route.

The Walk2Run events will take place in November, with boxers finding the time to fit the run around their punishing training schedules.
