Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Quick update:

I am fundraising for the Parson Cross Youth Dodgeball project, giving local children a chance to experience a fun sport after the school day , providing them with a no cost, safe space to make friends and improve their physical and mental health. I require to match fund the external grant of £3,600 in order to continue to run this project for the next two years. I and my daughter have challenged ourselves to walking several half and full marathon distances with the UltraChallange organisation during the period of 2026. Our aim is to reach 1000Km when totalling up the practice walks and the organised UltraChallenge events .

Plenty of practice walks are adding kilometres to our total .

In January, we completed a 25km organised walk in London and was blessed with great weather.

In March, a cold and blustery very hilly organised walk resulted in 29km completed in Bath.

In April, a hot and sunny day provided us with a delightful and less hilly organised 25km challenge around Windsor.

After a couple of weeks rest from long walks to aid recovery of my right foot bruising, we are building up with longer distances on our practice routes throughout the month of May. A selection of photos are included below from our practices and challenges so far .

Our next organised half marathon distance is in North Yorkshire in June and then a full marathon distance in the Peak District at the beginning of July.

UPDATE:

After completing the full marathon in the Peak District ( finishing after midnight) I am just 180 km off the target 1000km goal.
