Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Three would be heroes have teamed up to attempt to run across Iceland in 5 days. Our total run distance is 261 miles. We will have to contend with volcanoes, mountains, glaciers, and Europe's most powerful waterfall as we run nearly 2 full marathons every day. 

We're doing this challenge to raise money for Cancer Research UK and as a tribute to Tom's Grandad who passed away after a heroic battle with esophageal cancer in September last year. He definitely wouldn't have understood why we would want to run across a country in a week, but if we can raise some money to help beat cancer then he would be very proud. He was a big man with a big personality and we believe this would be a suitably fitting tribute. 

The run will be Garmin verified and you will be able to check up on our progress as the week progresses. If you love number crunching and want to share the experience then you're more than welcome to real-time monitor our heart rates and pace as we go.

Donate as little or as much as you can, anything would be hugely appreciated.
