Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the start of 2022 I set myself a challenge of running 1,000 miles in my 59th year. That's like running from Brighton to Madrid! I'm doing well, but now the nights have drawn in, the wind is howling, the rain is lashing, the tentacles of cold are wrapping around the mornings, and the temptation to lie in bed rather than donning my lycra is high. My final 100 miles is looming, and it's so much harder than the previous 900. Every mile I run is tracked and verified by the Strava app. Frankly, I'm completely exhausted, my ageing body is worn out, and I'm getting stressed that I'm not going to achieve my ambition. 

So, I decided I needed more external motivation to get over the line. If you sponsor me I am donating everything you give to the brilliant Downs View School, which has helped my grandson and all the other young people there to benefit from the excellent care and support they receive. Your sponsorship will help me finish the task.
