I am raising funds to support my local hospitals, Arrowe Park and Clatterbrdige General during the current covid-19 pandemic.

I have been taking my daily exercise at 5am, and I wanted to complete a challenge to help support my local hospitals in this time of crisis - many of my friends and family are nhs workers and are battling this disease on the front line - I want to show my gratitude by doing something to help - my goal is to reach 200 km before the end of lockdown, and if I achieve this, then I will keep going and set further goals and see how far I can reach by the time restrictions are lifted.

I am also using this challenge to show recognition to all keyworkers who are working hard to keep the country going in these difficult times and providing essential services

I havent been running for nearly 10 years, and so achieving this distance will be a big challenge - in my early 30s I ran all the time and was quite fit, but now at 40 with a lot of added weight and a few nasty injuries later, this is not going to be easy, but failure is not an option!!

I would welcome any support people can offer either by donating or sharing this page.
