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!

☆14/6/15 UPDATE Swansea Half completed today in 2 hours 5 1/2 minutes👍

☆29/06/15 UPDATE Number 2 completed on Friday, absolutely loved it! Busy few weeks ahead now - 30.5 miles to run over the next 3 weekends! Total money raised now is £523.50 so I've already smashed my original target of £500! I've now raised the target to £1000 :) Huge thank you to all who have been generous enough to donate so far 😘 

☆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! Firstly I'm chuffed to say that I've raised an amazing  £758.50 to date, so a huge thanks goes to all you lovely people who have sponsored me 👍😘❤    I've now completed another 5 of my races - Race for life 5k (July 12th), 5k Pretty Muddy (July 11th), Cwmann 5 mile (July 10th), Race for life 10k (July 19th) and Cannock Chase 10k Trail run (August 9th) It's a couple of weeks until number 9 so I have time to get in some long distance runs, only 7 weeks until the big race! Eeeeeeeeeeek!

☆1/9/15 UPDATE Number 9 completed at the weekend :) Severn Bridge Half Marathon, a bit hilly but a great run. PB of 2 hours 2 minutes and 42 seconds 👌 Pretty chuffed to say the least. Weekend off now before my crazy 4 weeks in a row starts - total of 58.6 miles to run over 4 races! Wish me luck....

☆13/9/15 UPDATE Number 10 completed today Bristol Half Marathon - another PB!  2 hours 1 minute and 8 seconds, I will get under 2 hours one day 😂 

☆ 26/9/15 UPDATE Number 11 completed last weekend, Swansea 10k in 53.38! Fundraising total is now an amazing £1136.75 so my target has been smashed yet again! Another half marathon to do tomorrow! 19 down 11 to go! xxx

24 down 6 to go now ☺❤ xx
