Challenge X – raising money to fight cancer

The inspiration behind “Challenge X” came following the news my mum’s cancer had returned and I decided to do something unique to show my support for her and others who are braving the battle against cancer.

Watching my mum put herself through the agonising chemotherapy treatment for a second time, I found it impossible to pick just one challenge that would be equivalent to her battle, so I am going to take on ten challenges - Challenge X.

Throughout 2018, I will travel around the country taking on ten very different challenges, all of which have been carefully selected to push me beyond my fears and physical limits. Challenge X is not just about supporting my mum; it is supporting all the mums, dads and everyone else who is battling against Cancer right now.

Challenge X will include:

I. Sky dive from an aeroplane at 13,000 feet. – Sat 13th Jan 2018

II. Hold a Tarantula. - Mon 12th Feb 2018

III. Brighton Marathon 26.2 miles. - Sun 15th April 2018

IV. Kayak 10 miles across the English Solent, Isle of Wight. - Sat 26th May 2018

V. Maldon Mud Run. – Sun 10th June 2018

VI. Tough Mudder. - Sat 7th July 2018.

VII. Coast 2 Coast Cycle challenge across the UK. - 19th – 22nd July 2018

VIII. The Three Peaks Mountain Challenge. – Sat 11th Aug 2018

IX. Blackwater Triathlon. - Sun 16th Sept 2018.

X. Abseil the ArcelorMittal Orbit, London Olympic Park. - Sat 29th Sept 2018.

Throughout the challenges I will be hoping to raise lots of awareness and fundraising to help towards the ongoing treatment and research into beating cancer. I would be eternally grateful if you can help me throughout Challenge X with moral support, donations towards my fundraising and finally any help and motivation towards my training.
