I am proud to be fundraising for the FireFighters Charity. I ran the London Marathon in April 2018 carrying my bicycle, as a sign of my respect for the resilience of UK Fire Fighters and the burdens that they and their families bear.
On Saturday 12 July, I shall run 100km along the Ridgeway - the ‘Race to the Stones’ at Avebury - (without bike!) as a continuation of my fundraising efforts.
As a warm-up in January, I completed the Gloucester Marathon and set the unofficial World Record for ‘fastest marathon carrying a bicycle’, completed in 4:51:30
In preparation for this, I completed the following challenges, carrying my 15kg fixi bike, during 2017: Blenheim 10km run 1stOctober; Oxford half-marathon 8thOctober; Portsmouth Great South Run 22ndOctober. I have also completed two treadmill-marathons carrying this bike!
