Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Michelle Shore and myself are going to walk 5 marathons in 5 days. Despite already having a portfolio of completely bonkers challenges completed this is one that has gone more than a few steps beyond. 

I am not sure either of us appreciate just how gruelling this challenge is going to be. Yes we have walked marathons but we have never done back to back ones. 

Walking the equivalent of Leeds to Liverpool in 5 days will be the most challenging thing we have ever done. Endurance will take on a whole new meaning. We have no control on the weather and irrespective we will have to walk for a minimum of 8 hours each day.

Michelle is Type 1 Diabetic so all long walks are with issues. Doing 5 back to back marathons may be a challenge too far however we are prepared to train for this and work through any challenges it throws at us. 

Diabetes whether type 1 or 2 creates huge lifestyle changes and without the work of Diabetes UK, developments wouldn't have allowed Michelle and others to undertake such challenges.

This challenge although a personal one allows us both to say thank you to Diabetes UK. Any money raised will assist in further research and potential developments of the treatment for all individuals suffering from Diabetes.
