Story

<p><span style="color: #333333;">Am I mad&nbsp;running 30 miles a day for six consecutive days?&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Well thats about the size of the task that is in front of me as&nbsp;I prepare to take my place in a team of six runners that have got together to run a non-stop relay from John O Groats to Lands End. It does sound like a herculian task but it is equally matched by the worthiness of the cause that inspired us. The charity that&nbsp;I am running for is C.W.U.H.A <a href="http://www.cwuha.org/">http://www.cwuha.org/</a>&nbsp;.The charity does a fantastic job helping out needy and vulnerable children both overseas and here in the UK.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">A little bit about myself, I am 47 years old&nbsp;and&nbsp;took up running while having a break from my rugby career,&nbsp;I hope to resume&nbsp;the rugby when I'm 50.&nbsp;I have two children, Kirsty and Adam, the latter will be joining us on the challenge as part of the support crew.&nbsp;Running is the way&nbsp;I keep on top of my weight and I am a&nbsp;member of the frendliest athletic club in England, Chorley AC.&nbsp;This challenge frightens the life out of me but somehow, whether running or crawling,&nbsp;I hope to be there at the end&nbsp;ready to sink a few cold ones.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">We hope to set up a blog, facebook group&nbsp;and a twitter page so you can follow our exploits as they happen. The Run starts at first light on the 18th of May and we expect to finish&nbsp;around the 24th of May after 6 days of non stop running.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please support this wonderful charity and make the pain that&nbsp;I will be feeling much more bearable.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
