Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As I approach the grand old age of sixty I decided I needed a serious personal  challenge and I thought that I might use it to raise some funds for a a local charity.

Not known for doing things by halves and having done over a hundred half marathons and 27  full marathons and three 50 mile ultra marathons I thought a running challenge might be the thing. So the idea of a Coast to Coast run was born. In April this year I shall set of from Hornsea on the East Coast near Hull and 5 days later, 136 miles will end up in Southport. 

Training is easing of now after averaging over 70 miles a week for the last six weeks including a 30 miler followed by a 20 miler the next day.

I think I'm ready! Last day of the run 23rd April starts from outside Derian House at 10am come and give us a send off.

All the money raised on this page will go to Derian House separately  I shall also be raising funds for Trinity Methodist Church Cubs.
