I have run a couple of ultras, but nothing as ‘big’ as this. 108 miles up the Pennine Way in the depths of winter! The terrain is undulating, exposed and boggy, the weather is brutal and support is minimal. There is just 1 proper checkpoint, 46-ish miles into the race. The more I think about it, the more scared I am… but that’s what makes it a challenge, right?  Training has been interrupted by injury, but I am back on track and determined, with the support of my fantastic PT and crazy bootcamp friends.

I am fundraising for MARS, a charity I have joined as a volunteer prehospital doctor. MARS is a group of highly trained and experienced pre-hospital practitioners (a mixture of doctors and advanced clinical practitioners) which exists in order to deliver enhanced immediate medical care to the people of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

It costs several thousand pounds to train and get kitted out for this work. Anything you can donate will go straight to the charity to help us continue to support patients and the ambulance service by responding to incidents across the region.
