Fundraising for Samaritans
Story
EDIT
And it's all over!
35 events completed rather than 30. 2 lost on the way due to injury.
Thank you so much everyone for your support throughout this year of madness.
Some figures for you:
296.45 miles (474.32 km) covered. Ish. Some events gave us free extras, so it's actually more than that!
25 medals
35 t-shirts
19 headbands
Quite the distance, quite the loot!
There is still time to donate - either online here, or text "SMRT87 £5" to 70070. Every penny really does make a difference.
Massive appreciation to the various race directors too for putting on such stunning events: The Suffering, Ram Run, X-Runner, Coventry Half Marathon, Reaper, Vision Wild Run, Wolf Run, Forest Warrior, Tough Mudder, Spartan, World's End, Total Warrior, Tough Guy, Man Vs Mountain, Birmingham Half Marathon, and Judgement Day.
Finally, appreciation to my green-clad brothers and sister in Team Muddy race, and the OCR family in general - I really couldn't have got this far without the lot of you. You're all awesome.
Take care all,
Paddy

30 Events.
1 Year.
1 Idiot.
Being quite into doing stupid things for good causes (last year you all helped spectacularly raising for Action for Children at my first ever OCR event on my 29th birthday), I've included my calendar for the coming 12 months below. It's counting birthday to birthday, with 30 distinct events. I initially planned to just do the toughest of them (Man vs Mountain) for Samaritans, but having found enough extras 30/30 has a much nicer ring to it, and I figure folks are more likely to chip in for something that ridiculous! ;)
This now has 37 events in case of injury (and out of over enthusiasm! :P), plus as many double ups as I can physically manage. Samaritans are a charity very close to my heart, so even the smallest donation will help them do very valuable work. I know not everyone can spare much right now, so if you can't donate the price of a drink, then please please help by spreading the word (ie sharing the links!). I'm no elite athlete, just a desk job guy looking to make a difference and push himself in the process.
All progress can be followed on the Facebook page here:
