As many of you know, I am undertaking the Lakeland 50 next weekend (27th). Apologies to all of you who have had to listen to me banging on about it for the last few months. Especially my poor clients who are trapped for the duration of their appointments.

Lakeland 50 is 50 miles on foot in the Lake District with over 10,000ft of elevation. I won’t be fast and it won’t be pretty but I have trained hard over the last five months.

I wanted to raise some money for my lovely friend Fran’s charity Kitsquad. I am privileged to get to spend lots of time in the hills trail running. I am privileged to be able to buy myself the required kit. Many people are unable to do this and miss out on the great benefits of being in wild places. Kitsquad collect good quality second hand donated outdoors clothing and equipment and allocate it to people who otherwise would not be able to access the outdoors. Kitsquad’s biggest challenge is raising the funds needed to keep the charity running. I would really appreciate it if you could sponsor me for this huge personal challenge and also help other people to get the chance to enjoy time outdoors.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
