My story

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running for Plantlife, a charity focused on protecting Britain's wild plants. Wild plants are crucial to life, providing clean air and water, as well as food and shelter for birds, insects and animals. Plantlife carries out practical conservation work across the country and manages nature reserves. We tend to take wild plants for granted and this area is too often overlooked.

My longest race prior to this has been one 10k, so this is a huge challenge. Please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks very much,

Nick

Hi all. Thanks so much to everyone who's donated. Sunday was pretty tough. Unfortunately my knee went after about 10 miles, so was a real struggle from then on - had to limp the rest of the way. Managed to finish it though, in just under 5 hours, so was pretty pleased.Thanks
