Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hey guys,
I'm really bad at this sort of thing so I'll try and keep it as short and pain-free as possible. For those who don't know my sister and I unfortuantly lost our Mother (Lorna Frost) to Cancer on the 18th Decemeber 2013. It's a horrible disease that affects so many peoples lives and its important that we remember the ones we've lost, and try and do something for those who still have a chance.
It's for this reason I've decided to run from Inverness to London, around 534miles. I understand it sounds utterly ridiculous and something that is said with a light heart, and for that reason I totally understand your skepticism; however I mean this with everything I am.
The run will take place between the 15th July - 6th August, with the route being:
Inverness to Aviemore
Aviemore to Kingussie
Kingussie to Blair Atholl
Blair Atholl to Bankfoot
Bankfoot to Milnathort
Milnathort to Edinburgh
Edinburgh to Lauder
Lauder to Jedburgh
Jedburgh to Otterburn
Otterburn to Corbridge
Corbridge to Fir Tree
Fir Tree to Great Smeaton
Great Smeaton to Easingwold
Easingwold to Ricall
Ricall to Thorne
Thorne to Elkesley
Elkesley to Grantham
Grantham to Stamford
Stamford to Huntingdon
Huntingdon to Royston
Royston to Cheshunt
Cheshunt to The Mall
(Subject to small change)
I must admit a part of this run is for me. It would be very easy to do just a normal marathon, but in life its important to challange yourself to the very limit. Its important to do things while you still can, a lesson that me and my sister have had to learn the harder way.
The run is mainly in memory of my Mum, however if it's possible to spare even a pound, it'll make all the difference to future families.
I'll try and keep anyone who's interested as updated as possible with how training is going. This IS going to happen.
