Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am participating in the Race to the Stones on the 11th July, a 100km non-stop run along the ancient Ridgeway. Why am I challenging myself to 2.5 marathons in one go? Good question!
Well, just over a year ago, a good friend suggested he wanted to undertake something "more than a marathon" to raise money for the organisations that had supported his daughter Evelyn. Evelyn was born with a rare genetic disorder, the main consequence of which is intractable epilepsy, which as it has progressed, looks to be life limiting. Evelyn's story and Elliot's JustGiving pages are listed below..
I personally have decided to support Mind - a mental health charity - whom provide support to those who suffer from mental health issues. Mental health issues affect many more people than we realise and have impacted a number of people close to me.
Please give generously, I will need all the motivation I can get to help keep me going for approximately 14 hours and 100km - thanks..
