Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I'm going to go ultra running for 2018 again - last year we raised £1930 inc. gift aid for Dementia UK.

This time I'll be starting with my own challenge #Dementia496 where I will be running 1 mile and adding another 1 mile each day for the month of March so that by the end of the month there will be an accumulated total of 496 miles. I expect this will get real tough as the daily mileage increases, but will also be great training for the 212mile race as well as a daily reminder to not forget those who suffer with dementia -each mile counts just like each person.

2017 - I will be doing the #Run1000Miles 2018 challenge -for which I'm an ambassador! - Completed 

March - #Dementia496 - Completed - 555miles in total

April - Highland Fling - 53 miles - DNS

May - PunkPanther - 'A Bridge too Far' ultra  -37miles - finished 19th (injured)

July - PunkPanther - 'The High Life' ultra- 77miles

August - My ultra running year will culminate with the Ultra Great Britain #RaceAcrossScotland which will be 214miles coast to coast along the Southern Upland Way starting on August 18th 2018.
