Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

Almost 17 years ago I took part in my first ever half marathon.  Since then I have completed twelve 5k's, twelve 10k's, two 10 milers, thirteen half marathons, twenty-two full marathons, 5 ultramarathons, two survival races, four open water swim events, one 100 mile bike sportive, two sprint tri's, three Olympic tri's, two 70.3 tri's and one full iron distance tri!! In recent years, the challenges have become more and more ambitious:
  • In 2010 my challenge was to complete 3 marathons in 8 weeks
  • In 2011 my aim was to do 1,000 run/walk miles within 1 year
  • In 2012 I did '2012 miles in 2012' ... AND the first ever back to back MoonWalk
  • In 2013 I attempted and achieved one of every run distance (from 5k to ultramarathon) and one of every triathlon distance (from sprint to ironman)
  • In 2014 all plans were messed up because of a fall that left me with a twisted pelvis and in a whole world of pain - I still managed to sneak in a cheeky 24 hour event, a 70.3 tri, a 5k swim and a 50k run!!)
Which brings us to 2015 and the new challenge ... Return of the M(a)c!! This year long challenge will see me revisiting as many of my past events as possible and trying to complete them with a PB!!  I will also be including events that I had to withdraw from in 2014 due to injury!
So far I have secured places in The Brighton Marathon, The London Marathon, Outlaw 70.3, Outlaw Full, Endure 24 and I will be adding more swim, bike and run events to this list as soon as entries open ... including Paddock Wood Half which was my first ever event in 1998!!

I am certainly no pro, I am just a very ordinary 40-something working mum of two who is determined to prove that if you set your mind to something and believe ... ANYTHING is possible!! 
Throughout this challenge, I will continue to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer and any donations will go directly to this charity that is very close to my heart and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to support this cause.
