Andy completed the Bob Graham Round in 23:58, thank you for all you support, it gave me the strength and determination to dig deep after losing 1 hour 40 minutes in atrocious weather conditions on the central fells. My blog has the full story at http://andym0000.blogspot.com/ and some photos at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/andym0000/BGR5thJune09#
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
As many of you will know, I'm attempting the Bob Graham Round on the 5th June 2009. The challenge is to climb 42 peaks in the Lake District in under 24 hours. The distance is about 70 miles with 27000 feet of ascent. More information on the Challenge can be found on http://www.bobgrahamclub.org.uk/.
As this is the biggest solo challenge I have attempted, as an added incentive I have decided to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. My Gran will be 90 next week and has been diagnosed with Alzheimers for nearly 10 years. It is a very stressful disease for both the sufferer and their carers. The Alzheimer's Society provides invaluable support for both and as well as funding for medical research.
Any support will be much appreciated and will give me an extra reason to keep going around 2:30am on Saturday morning when I'm trying to descend Fairfield with my ankle complaining I haven't rested it enough after damaging it in a race 5 weeks ago...
Thanks
