Weʼve raised £500 to raise funds for the Maritime Volunteer Service (Medway) to keep its historical vessel operational, by my running in a 15 mile race.
- Funded on Saturday, 6th July 2019
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
The Maritime Volunteer Service is a national charity with units around the country who support their local maritime communities, provide training opportunities for their members and the public, including working with other charities. The Medway unit is custodian to a 45 foot Nelson launch - LONDINIUM 1, kindly donated years ago by the City of London as they retired her from service with the London Port Health Authority. She is in dire need of essential maintenance, to help her continue her role in the community.
I'm running a 15 mile race on 15th June in the beautiful Norfolk Broads, a bit different to the typical races I've competed in in the past - as it's very flat ! I haven't competed much in the last 2 years, nor run much more than 6-7 miles at a time, and for those who know me well, my body tends to start falling apart whenever I try to push my distances.The challenge will be in part, getting to the start line uninjured !
I therefore appreciate your support with this race to raise funds for a worthy cause, close to my heart.

5 years agoI ran the race on Saturday and much to mine (and faithful hound Darcy's) amazement, we were first of the 51 entrants in the 25k distance !! Please see the results here: http://www.chiptiminguk.co.uk/the-broad-walk-challenge This page is still open if you wish to sponsor me now you know I've successfully completed the run :-)
