The Brathay 10in10 was postponed in May due to Covi-19 and is now re-scheduled for Friday 23rd October until Sunday 1st November 2020.

I’ve completed this challenge 6 times. It’s an extremely difficult endurance running feat and even with my experiene I can't take it for granted. I've failed it once and have struggled to complete it due to injuries on other occasions. I’m so proud of what I’ve previously achieved and feel I can still take this challenge further.

If I can complete it for a 7th time then I will have completed this event more times than anyone else, EVER! I would love to make this record but realise it means months of tough long runs and lots of marathons simply to prepare. And even then nothing is guaranteed.

I’m looking forward to be once again raising money for the Brathay Trust. Brathay Hall is a wonderfully special place that touches everyone that is lucky enough to go there. If I can help disadvantaged young people have the opportunity to be helped by Brathay, experience the beautiful Lake District and be inspired by Brathay then I know it is all worthwhile.

Also Brathay manage Wigan Council’s Low Bank Ground outdoor centre at Coniston where thousands of local school children visit each year. Please help me support this facility so our local kids get the chance to experience many outdoor activities in the scenic Lake District. These short school breaks give children great experiences and memories that last a life time. Each year Brathay helps over 5000 children and young people both in their own communities and also by taking them on residential courses at Brathay Hall. I hope you can find the generosity to support my challenge and send Brathay a donation.

All donations whatever the size are really appreciated. They will help make all the sweat and effort during the event feel worthwhile. They will also make a big impact on the lives of the many young people that Brathay will be able to touch due to your help.
