We've put this event together with a view of raising £5000, a really significant sum which will make a huge difference to this locally-based charity. We'll be running day and night, covering a massive 160 miles as a team, expecting to be on the move for around 30 hours! It's a massive challenge and any donations at all would be appreciated. 

Anything we raise will be match funded by my employer, so a £5 donation will equal £10 going to the charity, so please give generously!

The Macular Society is the leading charity fighting to end sight loss caused by macular disease. Every day over 200 people in the UK face the shock of a diagnosis of macular disease, causing sight loss that can rob people of their independence, leaving them unable to drive, read or recognise their family. The Macular Society conduct research that will one day find a cure, solely funded on donations.

The Challenge

London to Cardiff 24 is a team challenge like no other. I am one part of a team aiming to run every step of the 160 miles from Twickenham in West London to the very centre of Cardiff.

The route takes us along rivers and canals, through forests and towns, across fields, along rideways and public paths, and over bridges including the spectacular Severn Crossing.

The terrain varies from tarmac to mud, gravel to long grass, and with the need to navigate our way along our route we will need to keep our wits about us.

When not running I will be in the team minibus with the rest of my teammates, resting, eating, sleeping, talking and driving between checkpoints waiting for our runner to arrive.
