Story

On the 1st of May 2018 someone I love was told they would have to start long term Lupus treatment. I made a promise to them that every year I would take part in an event in the hope of raising awareness and money for Lupus UK. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue.  

Year 1: "The 100 mile Commute" challenge - running/cycling 100 miles with Jo Blair      

Year 2: The Push Up Challenge - 3128 push ups in 21 days 

Year 3: 10km run every day for 30 days 

Year 4: 56.8km run over the Cape track 

Year 5: 32km distance with a 1255m incline run over the Routeburn Track

Year 6: 32km distance along another NZ great walk, The Raikura Track 

Year 7: Ironman 70.3 - 1.9km open water swim, 90km road bike, half marathon run
