Hey everyone, Thank you for taking the time to look at my just giving page. Recently my family has been hit with the devastating news that my beautiful mum has terminal cancer so this has driven me to try and make something good come from this terrible situation. So I planned to train for an ironman but it just didn't seem "big enough" so together with my good friend and local personal trainer Jon Morgan Nanny Pats "BIG 10" was born...The challenge now consists of 10 serious endurance events in 12 months, basically an event every 6 weeks for a year!!!
So Here's the list......
1. The south coast challenge 100 Kilometres
2. 1066 way to Battle: 17 Miles
3. Beachy Head Marathon: 26.2 Miles
4. London to Brighton ultra marathon 100 kilometres.
5. Brighton Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles
6. Hastings Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles
7. Brighton Marathon: 26.2 miles
8. Eastbourne Triathlon: 600mt sea swim/25km road cycle/5.4km run
9. South Coast Olympic Triathlon: 1500mt swim/40km bike ride/10km run
10. Ironman: 2.4mile open water swim/112mile bike ride/26.2mile run.
I am under no illusion of how hard this will be for me both physically and mentally as I am no athlete, but I have no doubt at all that I will smash everyone of these events because however hard it gets for me along the way its nothing compared to living just one day with cancer. I ask all of you from the bottom of my heart to please donate whatever you can afford to either or both of these amazing charities who help so many people fighting this awful disease. Please share this across social media, tell your friends and follow my progress on Facebook, oh and if you see a guy running around Sussex in a bright yellow t-shirt then give me a beep and a wave. Love to you all,Anwar "nannypatsbig10" Akchich
