Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The thought of making an attempt at the Bob Graham round is one that has intrigued me for a couple of years. The historic 72-mile, 42-peak challenge, to be completed in less than 24 hours will be my greatest test to date!

When my dad, Grant, had a heart attack in February last year whilst in Coniston and was subsequently treated / airlifted by the NWAA, it became clear to me how vital this service is. This quickly led me to the decision to utilise my Bob Graham Round attempt to raise some money for the air ambulance. 

I started training more seriously for the challenge 12 months ago and have steadily increased the intensity up to the 15 or so hours, 40 miles and 10,000ft of ascent per week on the fells that is needed to give this a go. Needless to say, I'm relieved that the dark, wet and cold winter evenings on the hills are just about over! 

Many thanks for supporting and I'll keep you informed of my progress. Two months to go now!
