Update - having completed 731 days of running everyday until I turn 30... I have decided to keep going until i have completed 1000 days of total running! This takes us from Nov 2020 until Aug 2023 of running 3 miles everyday!! Same charity, same challenge, new targets!
Dear donor,
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am raising money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing lifelong support to our Forces and their families since 1885. In 2018, SSAFA helped more than 82,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts, and their families.
My challange starts on 1 May 2020 and is very simple.
1. Run every day until I reach the age of 30 (end of 2022 - 925 days)
2. Run a minimum of 3 miles each day.
3. That's it.
Why am I doing this?
There is no one reason I am doing this. There are several but they are all insignificant to the fact that there are hundreds if not thousands of veterans out there who are struggling everyday to make a living, cope with their history, cope with the change of lifestyle etc. etc. etc. So whatever I can do to help while I am able to then I shall.
I joined the military in service of queen and country yet have done nothing to date to help others who have sacrificed their lives to do same. Time to change that.
925 continuous days of running 🏃🏾♂️. No breaks, no excuses.
**There maybe certain circumstances where I may not be able to record runs via Strava, however rest assured there will be plans in place to get it done non the less 💪🏾**
I hope you all find it in your hearts to spare some loose change over the next 2 years to not only help me hit the target of £1,000 but to OBLITERATE it. If you so wish, please also share this with anyone and everyone you feel may be able to help raise more money.
I am merely one man, with a plan (and a pair of Nike running shoes). So I am more than happy to take assistant where people can provide. Although I start the journey alone, I look forward to the all my friends and family within the military and civilian community helping me in one way or another (encouragements, tips, donations, chocolates, coffee etc. etc.).
Wish me luck and thank you. You can follow me on Instagram @challangeseesun or Facebook @Seesun Gurung.
