Hi! Firstly, thanks for visitng my page. Now you are here, I guess it's time to explain what this is all about.
3 years ago myself and my friend embarked upon our first marathon after an evening on the hops based beverages. Now, a few years older and wiser I have decided to move things up a notch.
In September 2011, I turn the ripe old age of 30. This landmark has made me reflect on who I am, where I've come from and the good and bad times. A few thoughts have been bouncing around in my head for a while, and finally, they formed something I could get a handle on, and so my idea was born!
The basic premise is to run to every place I have lived in my life in five days. The route is calculated and covers 200 miles through 7 counties including Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. I will visit places I have lived, places that were landmarks in my life, and will hopefully have an occassional friend running with me for a few miles to keep me going!
This challenge will undoubtedly be the hardest physical and mental test of my life, but I am hoping to find out a few things about myself, relive great memories while discarding bad ones and regrets.
I have decided to run for Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, and as many of you will know, my Dad passed away from this 5 years ago. Obviously this is close to my heart, and having raised money for them previously, I really want to help them out further as they work tirelessly battling this terrible disease and do not recieve the funding and recognition it really deserves. http://www.pcrf.org.uk/
Supporting me will be two good deeds for the price of one; raising much needed funds as well as getting me fitter! You can't say no to that surely!
I need your support. We need your support.
Together we can do something amazing; so as I tie up my laces, you dig deep and we might just help prevent a few avoidable tears.
Thank you for your time.
Now let's go destroy my knees and sanity!
