Story

Hello! Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page, and I would be very grateful of any support you can provide. Sooo... why am I doing this, honestly I don't know. For some reason I thought it was a good idea (Clearly not) and here we are!

No seriously, this whole idea started when I watched my brother, Sam, & my sister to be, Beth, run the London Marathon in 2023. I was so inspired and wanted to run the marathon myself, but unfortunately didn't get in for 2024. Therefore, whats the next best thing you ask, yes of course running an UltraMarathon instead LOL!

Whats the reason for it... well as some of you will know, on 22nd June 2019 my family lost the most amazing Father, Husband, Brother, Uncle, Friend anyone could ask for. Andrew Peter Woodings. My dad was larger than life, a beautiful spirit that put everyone else before himself and did more for us than anyone will know. He lit up every room he walked in with his charisma, smile, laughter, and his bloody sarcasm. I got to spend 19 incredible years with him and I want to give back for that.

This year Dad would have been turning 60, the old f***, and it will be 5-years since we sadly lost him. My mum wanted to do something special for that, and that is where the 60 for 60 popped into my mind. On the 3rd May 2024 (His 60th birthday), I will be running 60KM and raising money for The British Heart Foundation in honour of my dad.

Thanks to everyone who is and will be supporting me through this, if you would like to follow my progress, please follow my Strava as that has all my training on it!

Thanks, Josh!

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
