My story

I did it - walked it from the start in 6hr 12mins.

it's not a race of course, but for those interested i came 33,507th out of 35,680 runners.

It's still not too late to make a donation. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Outward Bound Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please donate now!
