lee wilkinson is raising money for Brathay Trust
Story
Starting on 13th May 2022, I will be taking on the Brathay 10in10, for the second time, raising money to support the amazing work of the Brathay trust. 10 Marathons in 10 days around Lake Windermere. Having completed the 10in10 in October 2020, the draw to go back and take on this event was something I couldn't resist, as I had such an incredible experience last time, even though it was during a global pandemic, it was something I will never forget... So why not go back again...
Why the 10in10 again? 10 marathons in 10 days, 262 miles in 10 days, 10 days in the Lakes, all for an amazing cause. Firstly I guess having such an incredible experience the first time when the opportunity came around that I could possibly enter again. I thought yeah let's go again! As the dust settled after my first time doing the 10in10, and my mind, body and legs came back to me, I could reflect on what a journey it had been and how I now realised what it was like to be a part of the Brathay family. What we had all achieved in such tough conditions with the monsoon weather in October and all the Covid restrictions that were in place was something very special, and of course what we were all doing this for, was to raise funds for a very special charity that does incredible work for so many children, they need us more now than ever...
So why the HELL not, let's go again!!!!
Running has always been something that gave my life a purpose and the job i do as a Sports Therapist and a Run Coach. I get to treat and help so many runners from all backgrounds. Helping them to achieve their goals is very rewarding, and although it can be challenging, I feel very fortunate to be in the position I am with an amazing, supportive girlfriend, family and friends and a job I love.
If I can raise some money and help one child have a better life then it's worth every bit of pain that we will go through. I am so grateful to be a part of this challenge and looking forward to the journey starting again, thank you.
