5 More Marathons in 5 Days - The Forces March
Fundraising for The Veterans Charity
Story
In May I'm running The Forces March for Project 65
Project 65 "The Veterans Charity" raises funds for the care and support of wounded armed forces personnel and forces families.
The Forces March is designed to be one of the most challenging and demanding events of its kind in the UK. Teams will be running or walking a total distance of 131 miles from Ilfracombe, North Devon to Bulford Camp, Wiltshire. It is my aim to run this event so I will be running 5 marathons in 5 days. I took part in the first Forces March in May 2010 and I was both humbled and inspired by some of the people that I met.
To add to the challenge this year, The Forces March comes hot on the heeels of the Brathay 10 Marathons in 10 Days Challenge. Yes - I'll be taking on 15 marathons over 17 days.
Your support will be very much appreciated. My fundraising will not be limited to asking for donations. I will be working hard organising events such as The Bedford Clanger marathon (search for it on Google) and passing all of the profits to charity.
