Story

So, this is the big one! Having gone from getting out of breath hauling my 18stone 9lb frame upstairs in 2017 to swimming a 5km Race, Running a 10km Race and walking the 3 Peaks in 2018, this challenge raises the bar again. It’s double the length of any run I’ve done before and will test me to the max. Big blokes just aren’t designed for doing this.

As those who have followed me will know I love children’s charities and I am so proud to be running this one for The Children’s Society. To find out more about the stunning work this charity does, visit the website - www.childrenssociety.org.uk but be warned, you may need a tissue.  Every penny counts. 

In addition, on the weekend of 29th March 2019 I will be taking part in the inaugural Triple Swimathon. This involves swimming 200 lengths per day, 3 days on the run. The total distance swum in 3 days will be 15km (approx 9.5miles).
