Over the August Bank Holiday weekend, I'll be taking on the challenge of running the Ridgeway - a 5,000 year-old path from Avebury in Wiltshire to the Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire. It's 87 miles (plus a little bit for accessing accommodation and public transport at each end) which I'll be covering in just over three days: a marathon on day one, Avebury-Sparsholt; an ultra marathon on day two (my first!), 32m to Watlington; just shy of a marathon on day three, 24m to Wiggington; then a little 7m cool-down before catching the train back North!

Seeing as it's a big challenge for me, I thought I should probably make the most by doing some fundraising for it! I'm fundraising for Greenpeace, for their courageous campaigning for the rights of nature and a liveable future for all. Donations of any amount gratefully received - every little helps.
