In my teens I was fortunate to experience the adventures of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, twice completing the Lyke Wake Walk and a walking holiday in the Lake District with College leading to my love of running at a somewhat older age accruing 160 marathons at March '09.
Brathay 10 Marathons in 10 Days Challenge is an ideal opportunity for me to raise funds enabling less fortunate youngsters to enjoy the Lake District Experience at Brathay opening windows of opportunity to better prospects in life for themselves.
Starting May 8th - 17th '09 running round Lake Windermere 26.2 miles every day for 10 days = 262 miles it is one of the toughest road marathons so a definite Challenge.
Any donation is much appreciated. For every £5 donated your name will go into a draw for any prizes donated.
Thank you in anticipation, Susan
