Story

Lee Shayler is 48 and from Cheltenham, England. He moved to Highlands Ranch Colorado in 1999. He still lives in this suburb of Denver with his wife, Sandra and 3 children, Dominic(17), Alexandra(16) & Miles (13). Due to a disease of the eyes(Retinitis Pigmentosa), Lee is is now legally blind and has recently been laid off from his job at IBM after 17 years. Now, with time on his hands, he has decided to challenge himself attempting to walk 1000 miles in 1000 hours!

Lee will be recreating Capt. Robert Barclay Allardice's '1000 miles in 1000 hrs for 1000 Guineas' Challenge 201 years on - from 25th April to 5th June in Highlands Ranch, CO for 2 worthy charities. He will be attempting to walk 1 mile every consecutive hour for 42 days. This challenge was completed in the UK in 2009 by renowned jockey, Richard Dunwoody in Newmarket.
