This page started a few weeks after my Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. My way of coping was to throw myself into anything I could to take my mind off the reality of my situation and that included setting a fundraising goal of 26 separate challenges beginning with each letter of the alphabet.

Now, 3 months after my Dads death, I've had a lot of time to reflect and have taken a bit of a step back. Now, the challenge is to raise as much for Maggie's as I possibly can by doing as much as I can. 

The two big goals for the remainder of this year are to run a Marathon and compete in a Crossfit competition. I was supposed to run London but that was on my Dads Birthday, which was 10 days after he died. So yeah, plans changed and goals changed after my life changed.

Instead I'll be running the Kinloch Rannoch Marathon on 13th October, a location that will always hold a special place in my heart and a place where Dad rests and I know will be there looking after me and getting me round that loch.

I'll also be taking part in a Crossfit comp (finalising details then will update).

Many people say that marathon training and Crossfit dont go hand in hand but I want to prove otherwise and complete them both within a few weeks of each other.

The Grahams for Graham will continue to be an ongoing challenge; there are over 220 of these hills across Scotland and so many factors which affect me completing them. For that reason I don't have an end goal in mind but will be updating as and when I complete. 

There will be other fundraisers ongoing and will update but 26 challenges just isnt possible right now so I hope everyone understands and supports the change in page name and step back with goals. 

Thanks for reading and in advance for your support ❤
