Story

Welcome to my page

I'm a member of Choirs for Good, a social enterprise which aims to help people Feel Good and Do Good in communities across Wales. Our charity of the year for 2023 is Wales Air Ambulance, and I decided to undertake my own challenge during the year to raise money for this great cause.

My plan is to cover 590 km in total over the year, running, swimming and walking! I aim to swim 40 km, run 200 km and walk 350 km. 

This is a big challenge for me because until last autumn I couldn't jog for even five minutes!


Monthly totals so far...

January totals: swim: 2.8 km, run: 21 km; walk: 31 km

February totals: swim: 4.8 km, run: 24.5 km, walk: 36.5 km

March totals: swim: 4km, run: 18km, walk: 18km

April totals: swim:5.8km, run: 19.5km, walk: 46.25km, 

May totals: swim: 2.2km; run: 12.7km; walk: 42.7km

June totals: swim: 5.2km; run: 14.4km;  walk: 46.9km

July totals: swim:4.2km; run: 9.23km; walk: 48.8km

August totals:swim:4.1km; run: 17.8km; walk: 72.4km

September totals: swim: 3.6km; run 7.7km; walk 66.4km

October totals: swim 4.35km; run 27km; walk 16.2km

November totals: swim 2km; run 18.1km; walk 11.36km

December totals: swim 3.1km; run 19.8km; walk 12.11km

For the year as a whole, I have done:

swim 46.1km; run 209.61km;  walk 448.57km, 

giving an overall total of 704,28km. 

This means I have met my overall target of 590km, and met the target for each of the individual activities. 

Hurray! 



Thank you so much for supporting us and this amazing cause.
