Story
Hi Everyone,
Scott, Max and Tim are three men from Somerset who are embarking on a crazy challenge of completing 7 Marathons in 7 Days across Somerset. Their journey begins on Saturday 22nd November 2014.
All in the name of charity for 4 very worthy causes that are close to each of their hearts.
Petal The Christine Woodberry Memorial Trust will distribute equal amounts to the following charities/causes (as well as keeping a third to donate to a local cancer charity)
- Petal - The Christine Woodberry Memorial Trust
- Musgrove Park ICU
- The British Heart Foundation
- Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research
Scott, Tim and Max first met whilst completing the 5 Peak Challenge in 2013 on behalf of PETAL and have come together again for a challenge that really is going to push their abilities to the limits.
Completing 1 Marathon simply wasn't enough and so they have decided to give everything they have got by completing 7 in 7 consecutive days.
Their gruelling schedule is as follows:
- Saturday 22nd - .Burnham on Sea - Cheddar
- Sunday 23rd - Cheddar - Bristol
- Monday 24th - Bristol - Frome
- Tuesday 25th - Frome - Glastonbury
- Wednesday 26th - Glastonbury - Taunton
- Thursday 27th - Taunton - Minehead
- Friday 28th - Minehead - Bridgwater
We will update our Facebook page and just giving page daily so if you feel like you want to run/cycle/walk a few miles on any of our days please feel free to provide some much needed encouragement to the boys!
