Running doesn’t come easier to me since I’ve started my challenge, after injuring my knee back in May I’ve been pushing myself mentally and physically to continue with my fifty two week challenge.
Currently I’ve completed thirty four races out of fifty two, this coming Saturday I’m attempting my longest distance to date (non stop 100k - Race To The Stones, just three weeks prior to running my first ultramarathon 53+ miles - Race To The King)
I’ve met lots of amazing people throughout my journey to date, made great friends, raised £5,459.37 to date to support not one amazing cause but several as well as raising awareness for the fantastic work the charities are involved in.
I’m running this week to raise awareness and funds on behalf of Scotty’s Little Soldier’s.
Scotty’s Little Soldiers is a charity dedicated to supporting children & young people who have lost a parent whilst serving in the British Armed Forces.
Inspired by the experience of Army widow Nikki Scott following the death of her husband Cpl Lee Scott in Afghanistan in 2009, the charity is currently providing assistance to hundreds of bereaved Forces children around the UK.
Support offered to the children includes fun activities such as holiday breaks and group events, personal development assistance through educational grants and access to professional bereavement counselling.
