Story

Hi everyone, I've recently been searching for a hardcore endurance challenge to train for and complete. One that provides both a significant personal achievement whilst also raising money for others. 

I must be mad but I've decided to run a 106km Ultra marathon on the Isle of Wight in April next year. To give it some context, that's two and a half marathons in one day. I've never even run a marathon before so this presents a huge challenge. 

I gave quite a bit of thought towards the charity I'd like to run for and eventually decided on Children With Cancer. 

So many of us are affected by Cancer in one form or another and it must be awful for the children and their families. I read recently that everyday 10 families receive the news that their children have cancer :(

So, I'd really appreciate it if you could donate a small amount of money and sponsor me  to complete this challenge. The training for this event and the actual event itself is going to be a massive mental and physical test for me. It's going to be fucking hard! Cheers :)
