Story

Hi there, I was supposed to run the London Marathon this year for the charity that my wonderful Auntie Angela has been raising money for 2 decades; the Children's Hospice South West.  It is a truly amazing cause and their work is incredibly important for the children they support and their families.  The words 'Children' and 'Hospice' shouldn't exist in the same sentence - unfortunately they do and the team there are inspirational.  

Instead of running 26.2 miles, when the London marathon should have taken place on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th October, I will attempt to do 2,620 (chest to floor) burpees in under 12 hours, in an effort to try and raise as much money as possible for this tremendous charity.  

I will be videoing the attempt over zoom so you'll be able to check in on my progress live (further details to be sent later).  

Thank you for your support.
