Story

My challenge is to complete 1986 miles on foot and bike.  You may ask why 1986? This is the year that make a wish began in the UK.  The only miles I will count are those done during an actual event so this will not include my training miles, so it is one BIG challenge this equates to 76 marathons or 152 half marathons to put it in perspective.  Make-A-Wish UK grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. Granting their wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and given the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold. We want to transform the lives of 1,000 children this year by granting their One True Wish!  I hope you can help me with this amazing challenge by either donating or joining me at an event there will be lots to choose from.
