Welcome to my fundraising page, so what am I doing?  

Well I’m going to be a walking 100km in September 2024 starting in sunny Eastbourne, over the magnificent Seven Sisters, onto Cuckmere Haven, and over the South Downs all the way to historic Arundel with view of its castle. This is a tough route with almost ~2,100m of climbing across the full 100km.

Up Beachy Head, the magnificent Seven Sisters, and along the South Downs Way, to a Brighton half-way. Devil’s Dyke, and a few ups & downs lie ahead before historic Arundel at the end of my 100 km journey.

As I train and prepare I will be looking to do various running/walking events which I will mention with a focus of achieving this in under 24 hours.  That’s no sleeping, just walking.

And why am I doing this?

A close friend of mine has for the past year been fighting cancer, it has been a difficult time for both him and his family.  With his four children all at different stages of their life.  From starting university, going into higher education, preparing for GCSE and his youngest just turning one.  Not to mention he and his partners daily challenges they have to get through.

This is where the Sarah Lee Trust help (the charity I am supporting).  But they can tell you much better about what they do;

We know that serious illness has a huge impact on a person and those around them which goes much deeper than physical health. This impact can be experienced at different times, with some needing more support through the course of their treatment, others once treatment is finished. 

The Trust can help improve health and wellbeing in areas such as managing stress & anxiety, staying active, relationships & family, healthy eating and symptom management. 

My aim is to raise at least £600 for this amazing charity to continue the work and services they provide.  So if you are able to support me, in supporting my friend through the Sara Lee Trust, please do.

I am posting a lot of my training and running on my Instagram:
