Story
We are four friends from Burnley who have decided to do something during lock down to raise money for the NHS during the Coronavirus disaster.
One of the friends lives in Le Havre, France and up until the spread of the virus returned to Burnley regularly to visit friends and family. As you can imagine, Its been difficult for her not being able to return home and see loved ones during this difficult time and any plans for the friends to visit Le Havre have been put on hold.
So, we had the idea to collectively run/walk 348 miles, the distance between Burnley and Le Havre over 30 days.
If you know me you know I love to run, but this is a massive challenge and running everyday for 30 days will be tough! The runs/walks will be recorded with Strava and other apps and put on here as proof of the distance covered over the next 30 days.
