This is by far my biggest challenge to date and it takes place on my Dads birthday. There was no doubt that I was going to give this a go. 

The challenge takes me on a 66 mile tour of the perimeter of the Isle of Wight which I plan to complete in one day. Yes I have done marathons before but this is 2 and a half marathons in one go!

The hospice looked after my Dad and supported the family in his last few days. They showed much patience and kindness. I can not begin to imagine how they deal with such grief and sadness on a daily basis so I wanted to thank them and give something back.

The Isle of a Wight is a place where I spent many of my childhood holidays and I’m sure the journey will become a pilgrimage of memories as I make my way around the island. 

It’s going to be tough and so I’m asking for your support and kindness to sponsor me and help keep me going on the day.
