Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
On September 2nd I will be taking part in a 30 mile, load-bearing ‘yomp’ across rugged Northumberland countryside, alongside the Royal Marines. The event has official endorsement and logistical support from the Royal Marines. The aim of the event is to closely replicate the famous 30 mile yomp across Dartmoor that Royal Marines recruits must complete as the final commando test at the end of their training.
I will be completing this challenge alongside colleagues from across the country. Believe me, this will be no walk in the park. I am looking forward to massively improving my levels of fitness for this event so hopefully the Air Ambulance won't be needed on standby... (otherwise that will be another charity I will be raising money for).

Thanks to all who have donated so far - hit the minimum amount of £200.00. Let's see how far I can go 😁

I did 19 miles today with Tom Spencer who is another 30 miler participant. One or two blisters. Was a tough day but lots of calories burnt and some learning done for the event itself. Getting closer everyday...

I have tonsilitus. Nobody panic. I slept a lot yesterday and have been making sure I'm getting enough vitamin C. Throat is still hurting but hoping to be back to fill strength by Saturday. Thank you all again.
