SUPER SEPTEMBER IS BACK FOR 2026!!!!

We are raising as much money as possible for Blood Cancer UK, as this charity is close to our hearts. Our Mum, Denise Smith had bone marrow cancer ( MDS ). Unfortunately, there was no cure for this, it is something Mum had to live with and be monitored regularly to see how it progressed. Earlier in 2022, Mum had complications due to MDS and other conditions she had and we nearly lost her to sepsis. She managed to pull through two lots of sepsis and fought a long hard battle but unfortunately we lost our Mother to MDS on the 30.05.2022. I wouldn't wish what happened to our Mother on anyone and for that reason, I along with amazing Family and Friends will once again undergo a series of tasks in September to raise money for Blood Cancer UK with the hope that one day we can help aid the amazing people at BCUK find a cure.

This page is in Memory of our late Mother Denise Smith.

In September we will once again take on a series of challenges.

Challenge #1: Roseberry Topping - Mt Everest Ultramarathon, I will be attempting to scale Roseberry topping over and over again until i have gained the elevation of the worlds highest mountain ( Mt Everest ), this is a local landmark and to my knowledge has never been achieved before, it will take around 30+ hours of continuous movement and around 50 ascents descents to achieve.

Challenge #2: Swim-ultramarathon - Every year 16,000 people sadly lose their battle with Blood Cancer, for this reason i will be swimming 10,000 meters in their memory, this will be held at Saltburn swimming baths and will be 400 length's of the 25m pool and will take around 4/5hr of swimming.

Challenge #3: Wainwright Coast to Coast The Third and final challenge is a five-day event starting on the 15th and is a mixture Trail and Road Running along the Wainwright C2C Route total of 161 miles passing through three National Parks, The Lake District with rugged landscape and brutal mountain terrain, The Yorkshire Dales full of limestone valleys and river crossings and The North Yorkshire Moors with vast open moorland and stunning coastline.
