Virtual Race Around Suffolk

Virtual Race Around Suffolk · 1 May 2020 to 21 June 2020 ·
GOAL: With my ultramarathon postponed, my new challenge is to complete over 220 miles in 52 days to raise money for SARS. I’m currently working on Intensive Care during the Covid pandemic, and I hope that most of these miles will be covered running to work and back (8 miles a day) whilst working 13 hour day/night shifts. Just for a bit more fun I’ll have a 20lbs backpack for my commute!
*** UPDATED GOAL ***: I will be aiming to run 262 miles instead of 220 miles, and I'll match that with another 262 miles of cycling!
BACKGROUND: Suffolk Accident Rescue Service (SARS) volunteer clinicians have been helping critically ill and injured patients across Suffolk for the last 47 years. All SARS doctors and paramedics volunteer without charge and SARS relies on voluntary donations to support their charitable activity. Since 1972, SARS have helped treat thousands of patients and saved countless lives.Unfortunately, since the spread of the coronavirus, they have had to cancel numerous fundraising events and could be set to lose up to fifty percent of their projected income for this year.Their clinicians are all working to help combat COVID-19, they are also still volunteering to help treat patients involved in other emergencies, which are still happening in these challenging times. I want to help keep SARS running in the future by taking up this challenge. If you can help support this cause with a donation big or small, it would be very much appreciated. Thank You!
