<p>Not many people run 100 mile races; fewer still do 100 mile runs which involve 25,000 feet of climbing, I wonder just how many people with clubbed feet have done so...</p> <p>Born with a severe clubbed foot on my left leg I was exceptionally lucky to have access to first rate health care. I had 5 operations, countless hours of physio and various other professionals working together to ensure that I was able to live a life free from disability. They were remarkably successful and I find myself doing longer and longer races just to see how far my leg will carry me! &nbsp;</p> <p>This year's challenge is the Lakeland 100 which claims to be one of the toughest in Europe and has a 50-60% success rate. &nbsp;It seems fitting that I run this race for Feet First; a charity who do amazing work in developing countries such as Malawi in developing treatments for club foot. Their work means that many children who would otherwise face a life of disability will be able to get access to treatment which they could not otherwise afford. &nbsp;</p> <p><br>So please consider donating to this important charity and ensuring that children born without the advantages I had are also able to overcome their clubbed feet.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>_______________</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
