On 23rd May 2020, I was due to be taking on the tough London to Brighton Challenge for the fifth time, but due to the event being cancelled as a result of COVID-19, I had transferred my place to the Thames Path Challenge in Speptember instead. This event is also now sadly cancelled so I will now be doing this event in September 2021.It will be my sixth 100km challenge over all. This involves a continuous trek throughout the day and night over a total distance of 100km which is just over 62 miles.

I will be raising money for Cats Protection which is a charity close to my heart. In 2017 we sadly lost one of our beautiful cats , Lottie, at the age of 18. We adopted her from our local Cats Protection.
