Story

Hi Everyone,

Scott, Max and Tim are three men from Somerset who are embarking on a crazy challenge of completing 7 Marathons in 7 Days across Somerset.  Their journey begins on Saturday 22nd November 2014.

All in the name of charity for 4 very worthy causes that are close to each of their hearts. 

Petal The Christine Woodberry Memorial Trust will distribute equal amounts to the following charities/causes (as well as keeping a third to donate to a local cancer charity)

  • Petal - The Christine Woodberry Memorial Trust
  • Musgrove Park ICU
  • The British Heart Foundation
  • Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research

Scott, Tim and Max first met whilst completing the 5 Peak Challenge in 2013 on behalf of PETAL and have come together again for a challenge that really is going to push their abilities to the limits.

Completing 1 Marathon simply wasn't enough and so they have decided to give everything they have got by completing 7 in 7 consecutive days.

Their gruelling schedule is as follows:

  1. Saturday 22nd  - .Burnham on Sea - Cheddar
  2. Sunday 23rd  - Cheddar  - Bristol
  3. Monday 24th  - Bristol  - Frome
  4. Tuesday 25th - Frome  - Glastonbury
  5. Wednesday 26th - Glastonbury  - Taunton
  6. Thursday 27th - Taunton  - Minehead
  7. Friday 28th  - Minehead -  Bridgwater

We will update our Facebook page and just giving page daily so if you feel like you want to run/cycle/walk a few miles on any of our days please feel free to provide some much needed encouragement to the boys!

We have had some great support so far from local companies who will feature on our runner's T Shirts and so a special thank you to the following:

  • Avalon Leisure
  • Unique Fitness Bridgwater
  • Taylor's Building and Landscaping
  • M Mansfield Estate Agents
  • JSB Hair Salon
  • TJ Dyer Electricals
  • Quality Solicitors Gould and Swayne
  • Garry Sweet Mini Digger Hire and General Building
  • Central Motor Company Bridgwater
  • West Country Solar
  • Sci-MX

The guys have successfully completed their gruelling marathon runs and would like to thank so many people who helped them achieve their aim. 

A huge thanks go to all that ever so kindly donated aswell as those who helped by cycling, running or just cheering the boys on!!

The guys would like to also thank their support crew of Richard Tye, Jodie and Karen who without them the challenge would never have been achieved......

Finally, a great big thank you to Musgrove Hospital who allowed the guys to set off from the helipad on their Taunton to Minehead run. The team also cannot thank the Marines enough and a huge special thanks to Darren for organising a very memorable experience that the chaps will never forget.

We are still currently adding up the final donations so please keep visiting this page to see what our grand total amounts to!!!!!!
