Story

I don't usually fundraise for running a marathon,  because I do them all the time... well usually...

I was really excited to run London Marathon, amongst other great marathons. Although I don't often fundraise, many do, and charities rely on these funds. To put things in perspective,  I've already had 7 marathons cancelled, so just think about all the money that people would have raised for those events, that now isn't happening.

The #twopointsixchallenge is a great concept and to take part I will run at least 6.2 a day for 2 weeks. But that's not all, I want everyone to take part with me, and the timing is perfect as we start the #runhappyrelay 

On 26th April 2020 I will start this challenge by running 26.2, to make up for not running London Marathon. Once I finish I will pass the baton on, and #teamfunbus will begin. I want to keep the baton going and cover as many miles as possible, raising as much as possible in the two weeks.

I will do at least one leg every single day, and hope you will all get involved by donating, and also letting me know when you can run.

I will have a banana with #funbus written on it... I will throw to the right, and you can catch your own #funbus banana to the left... you then do your leg and then pass the baton.

Run, nominate, pass baton, then donate... then repeat...

Please think about who you will be passing the baton, lets plan this well and keep the baton going
