Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In June 2016 I will turn 30 so wanted to do something to challenge myself.
I've decided on doing 30 different races/events/challenges between June 2015 and June 2016 ranging from running 5k-10k, 10k-20k trail runs, climbing Snowdon, Cadir Idris and Pen y Fan, walking the Ceredigion Coastal Path, 10 half marathons, Tough Mudder style races and what I consider to be my hardest challenge the Race For Life Marathon (26.2 miles of pain and crazy emotions, I know I'll be crying by the end!)
2016 is also a tough year in itself for my family as it marks the 20th anniversary of when we lost my Mum (Janet Higgs) to cancer. That's why I want to do this and raise as much money as possible so we can get another step closer to beating this horrible disease once and for all so less people suffer because of it. I want my boy to grow up in a world where more people survive cancer than lose the fight.
So please dig deep! I know it's a cliché but every penny really does count and if you can gift aid your donation please do as 25% extra will make a huge difference.
It's easy to donate by text just text CHLL86 £3 (Or the amount you wish to donate) to 70070
Thanks in advance to all who donate ♡ xxx
Also if anybody wants to join me in any of my 30 challenges or come along for moral support (or be my chauffer ;) ) let me know, the more the merrier I say!

☆7/7/15 UPDATE Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon completed on 4th July, a very hot and surprisingly tough race along the canal from Wolverhampton to Birmingham! Time of 2 hours 21 minutes and 50 seconds so no where near my best but it's another 1 down!
☆17/8/15 UPDATE It's been while since I updated as my JustGiving app has been playing up!

Eeeeeeeeeeek!
