Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my Justgiving Page.
I am Representing Management Accountancy Services (Army) (MAS(A)) in the London 2 Brighton (L2B) Endurance Challenge in support of the charity Melanoma UK. I am 46 years old and in the latter stage of my military career and representing MAS(A) in this challenge will be a great honour and create lasting memories (and probably blisters).
About the Challenge.
L2B is one of the UK's great endurance events, a non-stop race from Richmond on Thames to Brighton. As an ultra marathon supported event most will walk it, many will jog parts and some will run the full 100Km (60% off road). Participants will each have a specific reason for taking on the challenge; it will be a unique test of stamina and determination. This ultra challenge is tough but achievable, and an unforgettable journey of self discovery.
About the charity
The charity has not been in operation for long, Starting out as Factor 50, becoming Melanoma UK in 2013. The aim of the charity is fund raise much needed money for research and to raise awareness of an illness that affects so many. If like me you don't know much about Melanoma (Skin Cancer) check out the Melanoma Dashboard using the charity link opposite which helps show and compare information about Melanoma across the UK.
About MAS(A)
MAS(A) employs experienced soldiers and officers who have subsequently gained qualified Chartered Management Accountancy status in support of the Army and Defence at a strategic level. They deliver general high level scrutiny of activity costing, budget analysis and the provision of "what-if" financial guidance.
