Story

I've signed up for the GNR 2021 and I'm climbing Snowdon on the 26th June 2021 with Succeeding for Sandra, as my girlfriend Alannah Ellithorn has FSHD and I see everyday how she's struggled and adapted to her normal, whether that's rocking herself back and forwards to get up from lying down or using one arm to climb up the other to do her hair, seeing how much she is physically exhausted at the end of the day has made me realise how much we take our physical health for granted. 

I chose to do the GNR partly because Lana thought I couldn't do it or it was just another one of my random ideas that would never materialise, but also because I wanted a challenge, now I'm not saying I won't be dying by the end of the 13 miles and may need to borrow Lana's wheelchair on the way back to the car but I will try my best hopefully make some people proud and raise a little bit of money as well.

I have also somehow been roped into climbing Snowdon as well which is another challenge which won't be easy.

I will try and keep this page updated with my progress however little it may be and I hope you can donate a little to an important cause.

Thanks Jack
