Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My name is Del Sullivan, and I will be attempting to walk 10 marathons in 10 days, totalling 266 miles around the Norwich Ring Road. I am raising money for two different charities. The walks will take place from April 18th, finishing on April 27th, starting, and finishing at the home of Norwich City FC, Carrow Road.
My reasons for undertaking this challenge is very simple; it’s to give people from all walks of life not only a second or third chance in life but for some, a first chance. Like myself, who needed a few chances in life after firstly being medically discharged from the army in 2016 due to suffering a broken back and undergoing multiple surgeries, resulting in having 30% of my spine removed and replaced with metal cages and bolts. I also needed a third chance after suffering from mental health issues over the last few years, both charities mentioned below played their part in my recovery.
The first charity I will be raising money for is the On Course Foundation (OCF). It is a charity whose aim is to champion the recovery of injured and sick service personnel and veterans through nationwide golf events and re-employment into the golf industry. The second charity I will be raising money for is the Community Sports Foundation (CSF). It is a charity whose aim is to inspire the community of Norwich by using the power of sport to support and drive the inclusion of people suffering from disabilities, mental health issues, and supporting disadvantaged people to raise their aspirations.
Now it's my turn to help others get the chances they need, so any amount donated would help thousands of others get their chance to live a life they truly deserve.
