I recently turned 29 and with the big three zero looming I decided to dedicate the year to raising as much money for Pancreatic Cancer as possible. Ive devised / accepted 30 challenges which I have to undertake over the next 12months. Some of them would be on my bucket list and are purely for enjoyment while the others will truly push me out of my comfort zone. The most challenging will be running the London Marathon in April 2016. Eeeeeek!!!

Throughout the year I will be blogging about each challenge to keep people updated on the trials and tribulations of destroying your body in aid of charity. Luckily I've roped some friends into completing most of the challenges with me.
