I am crazily going to attempt a World Record for the 'Longest Crochet Marathon' officially confirmed by Guinness World Records (26/3/19).

I will be continuously* crocheting scarves for a local homeless charity, St Petrock's , and also raising funds for Knit for Peace and Rainbow Arch of Mind (non-profit mental health organisation).

I am passionate about mental health and the benefits of craft to sufferers, including me.

*(with 5 min rest breaks per hour)

My Story

This idea came from me realising that I will never be able to complete a running marathon in my lifetime and raise loads of money for charity, which has always been on my bucket list. Then, I thought, what am I good at? Crochet! Not sure why, but this led me to check the Guinness World Records site...

...now...I am attempting a never attempted World Record, 'Longest Crochet Marathon' !!! I need to accomplish 24+ hours of continuous* crocheting the day before my 45th birthday (of which I will likely be mostly sleeping!).

With this crazy challenge, I would like to raise as much money as I can for charities and organisations whose recipients are / could be affected by mental health issues.

I have also had it confirmed that I have Osteoarthritis in my fingers and hands, which makes this massive attempt even more of a challenge!!

Please donate an amount that you can afford to support me and these wonderful charities and organisations.

I will update you all as we get nearer to the big event!

Thank you!
