As you may know i set a challenge at the beginning of the year to run 2,010 mile through 2010 up to the Ultra Marathon de Mont Blanc in August 2011 to raise £20,000 for a range of charities.
My first challenge was a solo event, 3 grueling marathons in 3 days across the Jurassic coast, i completed the event in march and only to find that i had been mis-informed that this event didn't count towards my qualification points!
So...this is where Trailwalker UK comes in, it's 100 km Trekking event along the South Downs Way with over 2,500 feet of climbs from Petersfield to Brighton.
Sound hard? Well to give you an idea we need to leave at 6am on the 17th July and we should finish 6am on the 18th July, so that's a full 24 hours with no sleep walking through the night!
Just to make this challenge even harder, training hasn't gone well since march, , with injury, illness, grueling work schedule and a recent family illness. In additional for this event i have brought in some help from some friends, there was 4 of us, but now we are down to 3, just to put even more pressure on us! Trust me this is going to really HURT!
Thank-you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I have been so grateful for all the generous donations so far, but really need all your support to help me raise this next target in just a few weeks! Please help spread the word for me!!
Here are just a few examples of
what fundraising efforts for Oxfam achieve:
£250 could buy 10 teaching kits providing essential educational equipment.
£500 could pay for the care of 10 orphans or vulnerable children.
£1,700 could pay for a whole classroom.
