Seven marathons in seven days - Thames Tow Path Challenge · 3 May 2019

Shooting Star Children's Hospices is a leading children’s hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. Whether lives are measured in days, weeks, months or years, we are here to make every moment count.

Story

In 2019 I really wanted to challenge myself and do something that would help  raise lots of funds for Shooting Star Chase.
After some investigation I discovered the Thames Tow Path is 183 miles long. Divided by seven is 26.3 miles a day.

Easy peezy lemon squeezy!

Here's the plan:

Thursday 19th September:       START
Friday 20th September:    Thameshead  -  Kelmscott    26 miles
Saturday 21st September:    Kelmscott  -  Oxford    29 miles
Sunday 22nd September:    Oxford  -  Cholsey    27 miles
Monday 23rd September:    Cholsey  -  Henley    25 miles
Tuesday 24th September:    Henley -   Windsor    26 miles
Wednesday 25th September:    Windsor  -  Richmond/Kew    27 miles
Thursday 26th September:   Richmond/Kew  -  Thames Barrier   29 miles

Having visiting Shooting Star Chase on numerous occasions, as well as leading on the refurbishment of Christopher's and Shooting Star House, I've seen first hand the difference your donations will make.
