Over the 4th and 5th July I will be looking to cover as much distance as I possibly can in 24 hours. Working in a team of 3 I will be completing an 8km circular route several times and taking a well earned break when my team members respectively take to the circuit themsleves. This will start at midday on the 4th and continue through until 1pm the following day. I have only ever covered a 20 mile distance once before in my life and that was a very long time ago. So, I know I will be pushing my body further than it has been pushed for some time. But I am doing this for a great cause.

Saint Michael’s is the local hospice care charity ensuring people affected by terminal illness across the Harrogate district can access high quality, personalised care. We do this by offering a range of services from our Hornbeam Park-based hospice, and out in the community in people’s own homes, as well as reaching out regionally and nationally. We are also passionate about working in partnership to enable others to offer hospice-standard care. We believe everyone should get care that is personalised and responsive to their individual needs.
