Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have done plenty of events before and I've never requested sponsorship. Whilst I recognise that for many people, running a marathon/10k is a big achievement, I've always felt that for me, most people would see this as too easy to achieve and not much of a challenge so I thought I'd do a few things to push myself well out of my comfort zone.

The skydive is something I've always wanted to do - I'm not sure how I feel about it, the idea fills me with a bit of apprehension but not too close to fear. I guess when I'm actually about to jump out of a perfectly functional aircraft then my feelings are subject to change.

I'm also going to do the David Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge over the Easter Weekend. I think this will be my toughest challenge. Run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. I've got back into running and I enjoy it but I usually run 3-4 times a week. I think I'm gonna have to dig deep into the the mental reserves to push through this one.

I know lots of people have been raising money for fantastic causes and I feel a little bit guilty for asking but it is for a cause that's close to my heart (well, down a bit and to the left & right!) I've paid the booking, admin and jump fees out of my own pocket so all the money raised will go to to the charity.

Thank you for your support!
