Tom's 262 day 26 minute challenge

262 day 26 minute challenge · 27 April 2020
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Back when I started this challenge on April 27th 2020 I had no idea just what a roller coaster the year and the challenge would be.
I have now reached the end of my challenge, but, there is so much that needs to be done. Many have lost their jobs and we are facing an unprecedented homelessness CRISIS. But, we have the power to do something about it.... please take the time to find out about ways you can help to end the homeless CRISIS.
There have been days when doing a short workout was all I could manage, but, there have been better days: I completed a Metric Marathon (26.2km) on Sunday October 4th 2020 with the amazing support of my running friends. Then on the 11th of October helped a friend complete their first Half Marathon.
I rounded off the challenge with a full Marathon (26.2 miles) around Shrewsbury on Sunday January 17th 2021. I had hoped to complete this back in October, but, a minor injury caused a rethink. Sadly due to the level of restrictions this could not be as social an event as I would have liked. I know that my running friends were there in spirit 👍
I have not counted trips to the shops or steps round work. Only specific exercise:- Hikes/walks, runs, cycle rides, cardio/core workouts and sadly no swims..
Exercise is what I love, but, this has been tough and rewarding in equal measure. I hope that we can raise a really substantial sum to help those less fortunate. If I have inspired one or two people to keep active that would be a brilliant outcome.
Together we can end homelessness! (And maybe, we can have a little fun along the way)
