With bereavement and mental health touching so many of our lives, or the lives of those close to us, I wanted to set myself a challenge to raise money for two charities close to my heart: Cruse Bereavement Care and ARC Counselling, Axminster.

Both are equally deserving charities, and I would like sponsorship to reflect this if possible.

The Ultra Endurance Challenge:

Commencing at the time of the first 9/11 attack in New York in 2001, at 1.46pm, on Sunday 11th September 2022, I am committing to undertake numerous forms of physical activities without sleep for 24 hours. With the support of B! Health and Fitness, I will undertake fitness classes, personal training sessions, use cardiovascular equipment including walking, cycling, rowing, elliptical machines and a treadmill. Activities will also include outdoor walking, cycling, jogging, and weather/tide permitting, swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking.

This is both a mental and physical challenge. I am truly appreciative of any support you can offer in my quest to raise much needed funds for these two tremendous charities.

My special thanks go to B! Health & Fitness who are kindly not only sponsoring this event but have also been integral in developing and maintaining my physical fitness always ensuring my pre-existing back injury is protected and working with my amazing physiotherapy team at AR Sports Therapy.
