Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In May 2021 I will be attempting to run Britain's most demanding but picturesque marathon 10 days in a row. Yikes :)

The Windermere marathon is renowned for its beauty as well as its many hills and is a tremendous physical and mental challenge for all who are successful with their application to run.

Whilst I have run many marathons in recent years (191 and counting) I have never attempted to complete any multi day events before now. So I haven't even tried 2 in 2 - so in at the deep end it is!

As well as completing the challenge my main aim is raising much needed funds for the Brathay Trust.

Brathay Trust is a youth charity with its head office and residential centre based at Brathay in Cumbria, England. Founded in 1946 by Francis C. Scott, the charity is based at the Brathay Hall and estate near the town of Ambleside. The organisation's main focus is on training and developing general skills for youth, including Lake District-based outdoor education and experiential learning, but also organises people and organisation development courses for adults. 

At times when the mental health of all people (young and old) this is an incredibly invaluable facility and an extremely worthwhile cause.

Hopefully, having read my story and recognised the scale of my challenge, you will find it worthwhile enough to make a donation.

Wish me luck - I am going to need it!
