Story

I had no plans to take on another fundraising challenge...but then I saw THIS!

https://www.theconqueror.events/lotr/

I will be taking on the full five-stage virtual challenge to run from Bag End in the Shire to Mount Doom in Mordor - a total of 660 miles!

The challenge is split into five segments, each with a fabulous medal (that I'm paying for personally):

The Shire - 145 miles
The Fellowship - 98 miles
Mines of Moria - 40 miles
The Eye of Sauron - 95 miles
Mordor - 282 miles

I'm not sure how long this mighty challenge will take me, but I'm estimating it will be approximately one year. I'll keep you updated on my travels through Middle Earth during this time.

If you can, please make a donation to LUPUS UK in support of my efforts. LUPUS UK is the national charity for people affected by the disease and it is needed more than ever. The pandemic, NHS backlog and cost of living crisis has disproportionately impacted people living with lupus and the charity is doing everything it can to ensure they are supported and have equitable access to care and treatment. 

I'll be endlessly grateful for your generous support!
