Story

This October I will be running from Whitehaven to Tynemouth, which is approximately 120 miles and I will be running non stop with no sleep. I am going to attempt to complete this challenge under 30 hours.

I will be setting off from Whitehaven on the 4th of October at 3am to hopefully get to tynemouth by around 10/11am on the Sunday.

Throughout the run I will have a tracking device set up so everyone can track my progress but I’ll also be active on my social media giving people updates as well through that.

I’m doing this run for an amazing charity called st Oswald’s who helped look after my dad in his final years up until his passing in 2017. They went to the ends of the earth not only for my dad but also my family as well.

Hopefully the money raised from this run and many more that I do in the future will be able to help give that same care to many other people and there families to make those dark times just seem a little brighter.
