Hello All!

I've decided to do something completely out of my comfort zone and will be running 250k over the course of 5 days in Jordan from September 22nd 2024.

I will be doing this to raise money for 2 charities, Mind and Endometriosis UK. Both of these are fantastic charities that do incredible work, for 2 causes that mean a lot to me personally and my family and friends.

1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem and no one should have to face mental health alone, whilst 1.5 million women in the UK are living with endometriosis and are in desperate need of support and information to help them understand this chronic condition.

When it comes to the actual race, competitors will be in in the magnificent Wadi Rum stretching as far as the eye can see, run up and down sand hills, go through ancient canyons, a rock arch and past a camel racing track while under clear night skies filled with a vast array of stars. The course is varied and we will tackle sand, gravel, loose rocks, hard packed earth and steep dirt tracks with switchbacks. Stage 5 will be the toughest day where we will need to complete 86k. This is a self-sufficient race, meaning I will be carrying all equipment/food on my back throughout the race.

I massively appreciate any donations, it means a lot and I know it will help in getting me to that finish line!

Proof of receipts will be shared for the donations to the 2 charities after the event! Had to start a new page as the last one expired.

Iona xx
