A huge thank you for visiting my justgiving page.

As many of you know my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer out of the blue in August 2020 therefore I have diverted all fundraising efforts to prostate cancer uk. 

After successfully completing the shortest day challenge on the winter solstice, December  21st 2020 (4 miles every hour for 8 hours) I have found 5 friends stupid enough to join me in my next fundraising challenge on the summer solstice weekend, the 18th - 20th June. Antel, Jez, Nick, Paul & I will be attempting the David Goggins 4 x 4 x 48 challenge.  4 miles, every 4 hours for 48 hours, starting either midday or 4pm Friday 18th June & finishing 8am or Midday Sunday 20th June.

12  x 4 mile runs .  Friday Midday, 4pm, 8pm,

Saturday  - midnight, 4am, 8am , Midday, 4pm, 8pm

Sunday - midnight, 4am & 8am

That’s almost a double marathon in under 2 days.

With over £6000 raised for Prostate Cancer UK so far our target is to push onto £10000. Any donations or support would be gratefully received. Details of the routes to follow. 

The challenge was started by David Goggins, a famous American ultramarathon runner, ultra-distance cyclist, triathlete, motivational speaker, and author.

Born in New York, the 45-year-old was formerly in the US Navy and Air Force and served in the Iraq war and has written a self-help memoir called Can’t Hurt Me.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Poker4prostate1, 2 & 3. Also to those who sponsored me for the shortest day challenge in December. 

Thanks  Matt & Joe
