Story

Later this year I'll be embarking on a monumental fitness challenge and I’d love to take a moment to tell you about. 

I'm gearing up to tackle not one, not two, but THREE ultra marathons!



Having never run a marathon before, let alone an ultra marathon, I have yet again plunged myself right in at the deep end. To top it off, the routes for these ultra marathons won’t be flat. For each one I’ll be starting at the coast and running to, up, & down the 3 biggest mountains that the UK has to offer; Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, & Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). 🏔️🏔️🏔️

It's going to be a journey of grit, determination, and pushing my limits! This challenging feat is not just about personal accomplishment; it's about making a difference for an amazing cause.

Children with Cancer UK is a charity that funds much needed research into the causes of childhood cancers, and the development of better, kinder treatments as well as funding initiatives that support children and their families through cancer treatment and beyond.

Their work has contributed significantly to a marked increase in childhood cancer survival rates and improved quality of life for patients.

They have a vision of a world where every child and young person survives cancer. The thought of being able to help in some small way is an incredible motivator!

I'm reaching out to you today to ask for your support in this endeavour. Whether it's through a donation or simply spreading the word about my challenge, every bit of support will make a significant impact in the fight against childhood cancer.

The dates for these events are:

Scafell Pike - 6th September 2025

Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) - 27th September 2025

Ben Nevis - 11th October 2025

Be sure to check out the image attached below for more details, including distances, elevations & routes I'll be running for each ultra.

I'll be sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of my training journey, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. 

If you're interested in learning more about my challenge or how you can get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out. I have this JustGiving Page set up if you would like to donate. Your support means the world to me, and I'm incredibly grateful for any contribution you can make towards this cause.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for your support. Together, let's run towards a brighter future for children with cancer.

Warm regards,



David Edwards.
