Story

200 mile Self sufficient Ultra marathon

I will be conducting the run from North Wales to South Wales, following Offa's dykes path then into Brecon and home to Aberdare, carrying everything I need on my back weighing roughly 12kg. 

My main goal is to change atleast one person's view of themselves and to prove that if I can change, so can they. If I this happen then I'll be happy. 

We are unique not different.

Over the past 10 years I've battled with my own demons from drug abuse to obesity which lead to a eating disorder. It's taken me years to feel normal again but I know it's never to late for anyone, change is possible.

The furthest I've ran to date is 64km, I will need to cover this and more everyday to finish the 200 miles in the 4 days I've given myself. It will be a test of physical strength but most of all mental ability. There are going to be times I cry and feel like giving up, but knowing I'm running for a fantastic cause will inspire me and give me the motivation I will definitely need. 

Im doing this for all the people that are suffering in silence...You are not alone, I will suffer with you.
