Story

So as many of you will know I have raised money for Ava’s Angels previously and haven’t done anything for them for a while due to lockdowns and many events being cancelled, but here we go doing it alone as Christmas must be such a tough time for the people who this wonderful charity supports so seems a good time to do this

I’ve set myself the target of covering 600km in December (20km a day less Christmas Day) so hopefully you all see it’s a pretty big commitment and will probably be quite tough on those cold wet days 

I’m saying now that I’ll try and make it 50/50 walking and running but let’s see how the blisters and legs feel 🤣. I’m also going to say now that I will mix outdoor and treadmill so I can mitigate those really icy days.

So all I ask is please think about others at this time of year. Image how it would be to have a child in hospital and all the things you may have to think of while trying to care for that child. Then try and out a value on the work Ava’s angels does to support these people in exactly that situation.

Thanks all for reading and hopefully my progress makes good reading 👍🏻
