Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the longest day of 2020 (20th June), I plan to run a marathon. However, not liking the idea of running 26.2 miles in one go, I am going to split the distance over 24 hours and run 3.2 miles in the first hour and then a mile every other hour for the next 23 hours!  The only rule is that I must run every mile each hour.  I think the cumulative running will be a challenge, but more so will probably be the sleep deprivation as the challenge goes on.

I would love people to join me running for each leg, particularly those that will be through the night. I am still working out all the logistical parts of the challenge, but if you are interested in jogging a mile or supporting me during the challenge, please let me know.

Having been inspired to do the challenge, I felt it would be a good opportunity to use the challenge to raise money and awareness for Bowel Cancer West. Towards the end of 2015, my Mum was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and in early 2016 after chemo and radiotherapy, she underwent surgery to remove the cancer. After a very long recovery, she luckily has been cancer free since then. She has been an inspiration and great support for me.
