Story

Cheers for taking a look at my page and taking an interest in the run for Luca.

The run will kick off on the 1st September, seeing me run 60+ miles a day for 14 days non stop. It will take on average 12 hours a day and will see me run from John O Groats Scotland to Lands End England.

It will be the toughest challenge of my life but nothing in comparison to what Luca has had to endure throughout his life.

Luca was struck down with Meningococcal Septicaemia in early January and his life changed forever…This horrendous disease ravaged every part of his body in hours and left him fighting for his life! With less than a 3% chance of survival Luca pulled through however he was not unscathed…

Luca lost both of his legs and all of his tissue, some muscle and skin below his hips. He has massive skin and tissue and muscle loss across his arms and shoulders and is now fighting to save his knees which have been severely damaged.

Money raised will go towards covering the huge costs of prosthetics giving Luca every chance to excel in every aspect of his future. Please dig deep and help me achieve the target of £1000.00!

Thank you for your time and hopefully your donation, I promise to run myself into the ground :)
