Story

Ok so I am at it again. 

This time I am going to attempt to run the entire length of Cornwall from Lands End to Cremyll (West to East) about 82 miles,131km or 3 and a bit marathons... IN ONE DAY!!!

This is completely insane I know, especially when you consider that 18 months ago I had never run more than a mile in one go and when I decided to do this I had only ever ran 8 miles in one go.

So why may you ask am I doing this? Hopefully I can raise a huge amount for a great, deserving Cornish charity, it may even inspire some people to do some great things but also as a celebration of being alive and making sure I take full advantage of how lucky I am.

This run is in memory of all the great people the world and I have lost, to name but a few, Lewis Hicks, Paul Cox and more recently Tom Mcmahon. All of these people were amazing individuals in very different ways. Although they are gone they will never be forgotten.

I am deviding the run into sections so that friends can join me for parts of it, I already have some volunteers but need more, if you fancy running 10 miles with me then please please get in touch. I think it will be your support that will get me through this.

As I write this I am actually shaking, I know when I say I will do something I will do it, please be assured I do not under-estimate the gravity of this task. I have said I will do it and I will!

The event is scheduled to take place on September the 7th 2013, mark it in your diaries because there is gioing to be one hell of a party at the end!
