Raising money and awareness for the allied forces foundation.

So folks, here we go!
running 4x caterans
(220 miles)
I will be starting at 7am 16/5/2020.
My projected timings are as follows.
Loop 1 - 13hrs
Loop 2 - 17hrs
Loop 3 - 20hrs
Loop 4 - 24hrs
Sleep - 10hrs spread across the event.
The first loop is the cateran ultra marathon so I'm not allowed support, I will have drop bags at the 6 checkpoints.
I will need a large amount of support from loop 2 which will be through the first night, pacers are key to my success. They are going to be the back bone of my adventure, in truth it's a group challenge and the support will be working harder than me ( I'm only putting on foot in front of the other:)
Support stops (checkpoints) will be detailed in the map I will send later, the longest section between support is around 12 miles. As you all know this is rugged terrain and the weather is very unpredictable, I will need plenty of kit to get me through the days of running.
I will be appealing for help from anywhere I can as it's a lot to ask.
I would also like some help working out the best way to contact kit sponsors, i will need a fair amount of kit to see me through. Trail running shoes/socks etc. I would really like to borrow a GoPro to document my training and the Event its self. also I will be using a GPS tracker so people can follow my progress in real-time during the event.
Let's make this an amazing adventure for all of us and promote the work the allied forces foundation do and raise as much money as possible to keep them helping vetrans.
