Joan's fundraiser for Cavell

Joan Pons Laplana is raising money for Cavell

Team: Super Halfs Chase

For the next two yearLucy and I will be running the SuperHalfs series: It's a series of six glorious half marathons that will take us to Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Cardiff & Valencia.

Cavell is the charity supporting UK nurses, midwives, and nursing associates, working and retired, when they’re suffering personal or financial hardship often due to illness, disability, older age, domestic abuse and the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Story

As part of our commitment to supporting UK Nurses, Midwives and HCAs, whether working or retired, with money and support during times of personal or financial hardship, often due to illness, domestic abuse, disability, working poverty and older age, we are rallying behind the cause of Cavell.

Our goal is to raise £3333 through the SuperHalfs series - a challenging marathon journey that will take us to Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Cardiff & Valencia. Your generous contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who dedicate themselves to caring for others. Together, let's show our unwavering support for those who are 'Here for Nurses'.

Following #The321Challenge bodies were shattered. Lucy broke her foot and I injured the ligaments of my right knee.

But after a few months to take our breath back and let our bodies healed we will be back with another challenge.

From October 2026 Lucy and I will be chasing each other across Europe for the following 12 months.

In 2025/26 will be running the SuperHalfs series: It's a series of six glorious half marathons that will take us to Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Cardiff and Valencia.

But if that wasn't enough, we will also be adding our two locals half: Barcelona and Derby.

8 races in 12 months. The dates are the following:

Race 1: Valencia on 26th Oct 2025

Race 2: Barcelona on 15th February 2026

Race 3: Lisbon on 8th March 2026

Race 4 & 5: "Super Chase weekend" Prague on 28th March 2026 & Berlin on 29th March 2026

Race 6: Ramathon in Derby on 28th June 2026

Race 7: Copenhagen on 20th September 2026

Race 8: Cardiff on 4th October 2026

But as usual we will be doing this challenge with a twist: We will be chasing each other wearing a horse outfit.

For each race we will accumulate our times like the Tour de France and on the final race in Cardiff the person in front will start when the gun goes and the second will wait the amount of time that he/she is behind and try to catch the other. The first one to cross the line will be the winner of the #SuperHalfsChase.

Will it be Lucy?

Will it be Jo?

You can start placing your bets on #TeamJo or #TeamLucy from January 2025. All money will be going to two charities close to our harts: Cavell & Bluebell Wood Children Hospice

You will be able to follow our journey and all preparation on Social Media using #SuperHalfsChase & #WeRCrackers.
