Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I aim to raise £1000 for Schoolreaders which supports reading goals for young people in state primary schools across Suffolk and the UK. As a Headmaster and educationalist, I cannot over-state how important this life skill is and with the detrimental Covid impact on many children's education, this is a worthy cause at an important time. 

This started by one parent challenging me to run for one month for fun. Most of me enjoyed it - not my Achilles - so it became an informal run for 100 days. Now I have hit day 50, I have decided to extend it by another 315 days. That will mean running 5k each day from 1st October 2020 through to 30th September 2021. In old money 1,135 miles in one year. 

It is not as dangerous as my stilt challenge two years ago, but, if anything, is even more of an endurance piece for a 40 something carrying a few too many bags of sugar.

Rules are simple: if I miss a day through illness, or for any other reason, I will make the day up. I will only stop if injury requires it. I will run before school, after school and once or twice a week during the school day otherwise I will not fit every run in to my schedule.
