In 2023 after family friend and Whitby legend John Hunter was diagnosed with MND I completed 7 consecutive monthly challenges where I was joined by members of Team John throughout. This included - Leeds Marathon, Dalby's Inferno (50km Ultra), The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Fell Run, 7 miles for 7 days + 21 miles on the final day, The National 3 Peaks Challenge, Berlin Marathon & a 24 Hour Hike (in November!).

Sadly John lost his fight to MND after the 5th challenge. In his memory we now have The annual John Hunter Memorial Hike & annual John Hunter Charity Shield football match.

In August myself Nick Shallow and Craig Newlands will be running the "Whale Bones Run" 160 miles + over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Running 50 miles+ every day for 3 days, including double marathon days. The run will begin at Seahouses in Northumberland follow the coastal paths (unless we get lost) & finish at the Whale Bones in Whitby.
