Myself, James and Nigel will be embarking on a journey which will see blood, sweat and tears (probably more the latter) as we challenge our fitness and resilience to complete 280km in 28 days as part of the Great Run Solo initiative, with all donations making their way to the ever-vibrant and ridiculously fantastic NHS Charities trust.

Personally, I have had a hate/hate relationship with all things running for around 34 years' now.  So much so that at the start of April, I tried to hit(slap? pound?) the pavements during lockdown and struggled to complete a 3km run in under 30minutes.  10 weeks or so later, and things are turning the corner - with 126km completed in April and 173km completed in May.  What's more impressive is that I've somehow managed to find a passion for running, something I never thought I'd achieve!  The soles of my feet, my calf, my groin and my nipples have gone through hell over the last 10 weeks and they won't thank me for the next 4 weeks either!

So please follow our story, raise money for a truly phenomenal cause and enjoy the trauma and turmoil we put ourselves through!  Any donation, whether big or small will be welcome, as will the support needed to get through this ordeal!

Thank You NHS.
