Story
This year I've taken on the challenge of running the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc in August. This is a single stage mountain ultramarathon circling Mont Blanc which passes through France, Italy and Switzerland. The race is 166km long and has a total elevation gain of almost 10,000m, along with the added challenge of running at altitude. The cut-off time for finishing the course is 46 hours, yet last year only 43% of those who started completed the course. I am determined to be a finisher this year!

I have decided to use the race to fundraise for the charity Right to Play, they aim to improve the lives of children in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world by using the power of sport and play for development, health and peace. Learn more about the work of the charity here
