Story

I am fundraising to support Mema's 2.6 challenge in honour of her Baba! As a daddy's girl myself, I know it would mean the absolute world to me to have support from my friends and family if I were ever in the same situation. 

So, what's my challenge? I will run an average of 26.2 miles per week for 2.6 weeks with a goal of raising at least £260 x 2 (now shooting for £520!) for Brain Tumour Research. (Thats 2.6 marathons/68 miles/110K in 18 days!) 

Check out the crazy things my girl Mema is doing over 26 days on her page - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mema-s-2-6-challenge 

My progress so far: 68 of 68 miles completed!!

  1. April 22: 4 miles ran!

  4. April 26: 2.6 CHALLENGE official kick-off day! I joined Mema in Regents Park for a 6 mile run (2M/6ft away from her) while she not only scooted 26km, but also went above and beyond that to join me for my 6 mile run around the park! :)

THANK YOU ALL for your support! It genuinely keeps me motivated to know I am making the smallest difference for Mema, her Baba, and Brain Tumour Research -- and that I have so many lovely friends, family, & coworkers supporting me in powering through this physical challenge, rain or shine, over the next few weeks.
