Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Starting at 8am on Good Friday (29/3/24) I will be commencing my first Hyrox.
This consists of:
1km skiing, 1km rowing, 50m sled push, 50m sled pull, 80m burpee broad jumps, 200m farmers carry, 100m lunges, 100 wall balls and 8km of running. I will be repeating this over and over for a period of 12 hours with no breaks to see how many times I can complete a full round.
Hero paws is a charity really close to my heart. Many people are unaware that retired service dogs do not receive any financial support upon their retirement from the force they served with, meaning the responsibility for their care and vet bills fall solely to their ex-handler or new owner. Sometimes unable or at great expense to get pet insurance due to their working life, many are left with ongoing vet bills which can amount to thousands. Hero Paws provides much needed financial support to these unsung dog heroes and their owners to enable them to have a long and happy retirement.
Last year I ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours with a 10kg weighted vest and raised £700. I’m aiming for £1000 this year. Anything you can give goes such a long way in giving these dogs the lives and treatments they deserve after serving their country.
