Story
Throughout September I set myself a challenge to complete the 156 miles of the world's toughest Ultramarathon, the 'Marathon des Sables' - over 30 rather than 6 days. I pledged to 5.2 miles exercise/day EVERY day & to complete each day with a small snack on my mini table, making it the Marathon des Tables.
I've posted the pics & mileage here each day; click on the photo icon to see the novel daily mini-table snack.
Thanks for your support. This really matters to me. PCD is a rare condition. People with it are highly vulnerable to lung infections. https://pcdsupport.org.uk/what-is-pcd/ They have to shield during COVID19. The PCD Family Support Group has ensured they had advice from government and doctors about shielding & support with managing the re-entry into life after shielding.
10 y.o. Kylie in this last photo (& her parents) literally did not leave their house, even for a walk, or see anyone for over 100 days because she has PCD. When her class went back to school, at first Kylie couldn't join them, because she remained shielding. A really tough time, and great resilience achieved. Let's hope Kylie and others like her won't have to shield again because of Covid. But if they do, I am so grateful to the charity for the support they will give.
