I am no stranger to challenging myself but this one is personal as not only is it for a charity specific for MRKH but it is run by the charity MRKH Connect.

I am 1 in 5000, diagnosed with MRKH at 17, and this event motivates all individuals to challenge themselves to focus on their own physical and mental health wellbeing.

So my challenge is reach the distance of 50km per week for the whole challenge which equates to 350km in total! I am aiming to achieve this by running, rowing (indoor), walking or anything else I can measure on Strava! This is not a distance I do regularly in one week so I am excited to challenge myself to focus for these 5 weeks and find novel ways to reach my goal!

What is MRKH 5000 in 50?

MRKH Connect 5000-in-50 is an annual international initiative to raise awareness for MRKH and we invite you to join us as we start again on May 30th 2025.

This event, which runs virtually and challenges every individual who takes part all of whom will contribute to a collective fundraising target whilst promoting their own physical and mental health and feeling a sense of community.
