Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Recently I have taken the decision to change the challenge that I am taking part in for a number of different reasons.  To those who have already kindly donated rest assured that I will be pushing myself even harder than anticipated before.

I will be running 3 ultra marathons, 1 half marathon, climbing 3 mountains in one day, and finishing up with a tough-mudder event.

I am taking on these challenges for a truly amazing cause, Make-A-Wish charity.

Make-A-Wish exists for one reason - to grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life threatening conditions.  Whether it is staring in their own film, walking with dinosaurs, going on an amazing holiday, meeting a celebrity hero, or having a life-changing bedroom makeover; the wishes are varied, personal, and most importantly magical.  Make-A-Wish go above and beyond to grant very special wishes to very special children; their dreams made a reality at a time when they need it most.  Because a child's life shouldn't be about illness, hospitals and diagnosis - it should be about wonder, joy and hope.

The challenges in 2017 that I am taking part in are as follows:

Silverstone Half Marathon (21km) 13 March; Isle of Wight Challenge (106km) 29-30 March; London to Brighton Challenge  (100km) 27-28 May; Cotswolds Challenge (100km) 1-2 July; Three Peaks Challenge (44km, 9,800 ft ascent) 5-6 August; Tough Mudder Challenge (19km, 20 obstacles) 16 September.

All money donated through JustGiving goes directly to the charity.   

If the money we raise helps to change one child's life, giving them a brief moment of happiness, then we will have together done something amazing.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.  Ben
