I will be flying over to the U.S.A on the 18th of October 2024 to take part in a ultra marathon multi-stage event, which will be across 5 days with a total 220km (137 miles) to run, pretty much 1 marathon a day. The race itself will be from the 21-25 Oct.

I started running just under two years ago, this will be my first venture into an organised event and first time doing back-to-back marathons.

The race itself takes place in the beautiful mountainous wilderness Mojave Desert just west of Las Vegas, taking me through the Red Rock Conservation Area and Spring Mountain Range. We will camp at night at different locations and will need to self support with respect to food, no showers for a the week...

I have ran before for the Make-A-Wish foundation, thankfully I haven't had to reach out to them for my own children but having two daughters myself, really brings it home. This charity has the ability to grant critically ill children a wish, which will provide ever lasting memories.

Make-A-Wish® UK grant life-changing wishes for thousands of critically ill children across the UK. Sadly, the number of wish enquiries from seriously ill children with less than a year to live is rising fast. They need help to meet this urgent demand now - before it’s too late. For families with critically ill children, every day counts. Your support has the power to make a wish come true for a critically ill child, allowing families to create lasting memories that they will treasure forever – no matter what the future holds.
