Story

10 MARATHONS - 10 COUNTRIES - ONE HEART

Feel sick with nerves writing this and committing to it publicly but this summer starting on 2nd of July I will be embarking on my biggest charity challenge yet in an attempt to raise awareness for the British Heart Foundation after all they did for my mum before her passing in July 2021.

My aim is to run through the heart of Europe attempting to run 10 consecutive marathons in 10 days across 10 different countries, travelling via campervan from one country to the next! ๐Ÿš

The proposed route will include the following countries from start to finish;

1) Netherlands ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

2) Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

3) Luxembourg ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ

4) France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

5) Switzerland ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ

6) Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

7) Austria ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น

8) Liechtenstein ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

9) Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

10) Slovenia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

I am by no means a professional runner but just someone who has found a love for the sport just over two years ago after attempting to create something positive out of the darkest time of my life. I hope that in my attempt I can bring people together from across the world to share a united aim of improving care and life expectancy for those impacted by heart disease and to demonstrate the importance of heart health and how I am using running as a way of looking after my own. โค๏ธ

Over the last 60 years heart related deaths under the age of 75 have slowly been decreasing, however over the last 3 years this trend has been reversed and this number is starting to increase. This is why now is as an important time as ever to support this amazing charity and allow them to continue to do the necessary research they need to find new cures and treatments to keep saving lives.

The trip itself is going to be entirely self funded so that 100% of the donations you make to this page will be donated to the British Heart Foundation!

Thank you in advance for any future donations and support from both myself and the British Heart Foundation ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
