Story



For every pound  raised the parent company of Bristan Group - MASCO, will match it.

In December of 2014 I was starting to think about what the next resolution was going to be, when I fell upon this article - http://www.runnersworld.com/newswire/ron-hills-running-streak-hits-50-years 

Feeling inspired I thought, well if Ron Hill can do it for all that time then at least I can do a year, besides which it would help me to lose weight, and I've yoyo'd  more times than you can imagine.  In 2015, I did it, I ran a minimum of 1 mile everyday for the entire year and covered 603 miles in the process and lost 20lbs, I ran on holidays in Devon, Wales and Munich, I ran in the US whilst away on a business trip. 

In September 2015, the company that I work for Bristan Group began a new partnership with a local charity called Simons Heroes, it was from seeing the work that they do it gave me the inspiration for my 2016 challenge, could I continue to run everyday but cover 1000 miles in the year.

So hear it is my just giving page to try and raise money for a fantastic local charity that raise money for local children with life limiting illnesses for things that will enrich their lives.
