Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This challenge is a big one ..we’re running (walking, crawling also permitted) from Lands End to John O’Groats... some 1050 miles (or there abouts) 70,000ft of elevation through England, Wales
and Scotland. 6 out of 7 day’s for 5 weeks, averaging 33 miles per day. Much of the last 2 years has been spent training for this ‘adventure’ in one way or another. Building strength and stamina, running strategies, finding out the limits, what works and what doesn’t …..

Why? …. Yes good question and there isn’t an answer as such
….. apart from it’s a bit of a challenge and hopefully will raise some much needed funds for the Wisdom Hospice.

As many of you will know I’ve supported the hospice for some
time now. Many years since Mum was under their care and at that time didn’t really know or understand anything about what they did. Its so much more than end of life care! The much needed fundraising work is carried out by The Friends of the Wisdom Hospice’ ….

As for the fundraising …. Well we want to push this to the
limits as well. The Hospice catchment area covers the Medway and Swale area … that’s around 420,000 people. Times are tough when it comes to money so what if we all did a little to make a lot ? if just a quarter of our catchment area donated a £1 (or £2) we could raise in excess of £100,000. We’re not famous superstars who have easy access to publicity etc so I ask you all to help spread the word,
tell your friends and your friends friends …. Just a £1 (or £2). You can be part of this challenge just by doing that …..

Enough said for now ….. hope you can join / follow us on
this one ….. will keep you posted on the usual social media posts etc etc but feel free to give us a shout out
