This year, I'm taking on the ultimate challenge for Shelter. Millions of people sleep rough every year, or struggle with their housing situation, or face terrible living conditions - and this year, I want to do something to change that. So, I'll be taking to the streets, to help keep vulnerable people off them.

So what exactly am I doing? I'm running the equivalent of 20 marathons, in one year. That's 524 miles all in. In 12 months. It averages at about 10 miles a week, every week, for one year. 

How am I going to do it? I'll be taking part in half marathons, 10ks, road races and plenty of treadmill runs to get there. There will be blisters, sweat, probably a few tears and maybe a few injuries, but that's all part of the fun... Right?

I'm aiming for £1 for every mile I manage, so if you wanna sponsor me for just one mile, or hell, even 10, I'd be super grateful! 

I'll be documenting my progress over on Instagram @emmaleecurtis1, and through Nike running updates, so you'll always be sure to know where I'm at.
