Story

I am completing my first Ultra event in the Peak District.

The challenge takes a tough & varied figure of 8 route through Derbyshire's finest scenery, bringing 2450 metres of total elevation! ⛰️

I will be pushing myself for the full 100k Ultra marathon (2.37 marathons). Being in the Peak District, this challenge is guaranteed to be one of the hardest things I will ever do. Whilst doing this, I wanted to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. 

Many of us can relate to the loss of family members and friends.

Having personally dealt with the loss of 2 grandparents to cancer. Knowing that the funds raised would be used in developing life saving research, I couldn't think of a better charity to do it for. 

The research saved my Nana from lung cancer, giving her the chance to watch us all grow and hopefully become a great-grandparent!

This is why I want to raise as much money as possible in the months leading to July 6th 2024. 

Please support me in helping to support cancer research and all the great work they do. Every donation towards the goal, is hugely appreciated!💙

Guess it’s time for me to get to work😅
