Story
Hey everyone im Chris and im looking at attempting something really out of my comfort zone and seeing if i have the mental robustness to complete this challange. to help push myself to this i am looking to raise some money for somewhere close to my heart and this is the Childrens ward at Tameside and Glossop hospital. Ive seen the special things they do there and the care they show to all the children even from my familys own experiences. Im hoping any money raised can be used for new toys and towards some new features for the kids to use.
The challange is as follows:
1 mile run.... on the hour.... every hour..... for 24 hours @ CrossFit Fuel in Delph
This will be completed over the 17th and 18th of may from 6pm to 5pm the following day as it stands.
Edit !!!!!
I am also now running the Manchester Half Marathon this weekend coming so i will be leaving this page open for longer in hope of raising some more money :)

6 months ago@ 5PM it was all said and done. The evening and the last few days have all been about recovery. I am leaving this page open for another week or so as I'm running the Manchester half marathon this weekend coming so hopefully I can raise some more money by then and hit that target :)

6 months agoSo the run started @ 6PM on Friday and I was managing pretty well with some good consistent mile times but at about 4AM it started to fall apart and I hit a wall big time. Some of the worst pain ive ever felt and it was not the feet surprisingly but my whole body. After a rough few hours and forcing some warm good and sugars down me it al picked up again and was a case of fighting tiredness and the hot sun that hit at about lunch. For the last 5 miles we actually increased each run to tip us over marathon distance.
