Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may be aware, it was my plan to run 26.2 miles on Sunday 26th April this year in order to raise money for the ARCO Project. I slaved away putting in between 80-100 miles per week of hard training and now I am left with no marathon test my fitness! 

I have still been running and training and of course within the current governmental guidelines it would not be sensible to run the marathon distance. 

My challenge is to run 5 miles as close to 26 minutes 26 seconds to raise money through the 2.6 initiative. I will upload my run to Strava as proof! It is my goal to try and raise £260 for the ARCO Project. For every second I am over or under 26.26 minutes I will personally donate £1.
