Story

Update,

2 weeks after finishing my 280km challenge just wanted to give you all an update.

I ran a 5km, 4 days after completing a 10km every day for 28 days. (59 mins was my fastest 10k) on the 5 km my knee gave up and I’ve been hobbling around since.

I’m sure it will be fine!

So glad it held up for the 10kms x 28 challenge,

Together with your support and overwhelming sponsorship, we managed to raise an insane £24,200 for Ukrainian children.

Total is still climbing!! Thank you all so so much, this really was an insane challenge.  Next time your running a 10km, imagine doing it everyday for 28 days in a row!!

Honestly I can’t thank you all enough for the kind support.

Love to you all

Martin



Update

Tomorrow is day 28 

My  sponsorship challenge for UNICEF, Ukrainian Children has raised nearly £19,000, thanks to all your amazing support.

My 28 day, 28 10km everyday, no days off crazy challenge has had me running in the early hours at 03.00. This has become a really tough challenge with old injuries really playing up, sore knees, extremely painful ankle and super tired!!!

My final day tomorrow I will attempt to run 10km in under 1 hour. Possibly not quick to some of you but I’ve done couch to 28 10kms in a row with no running experience whatsoever!!

Please please support me on the final day with a small sponsorship if it’s affordable, if not please simply send words of support.

I will run tomorrow at 10.30 am.

Wish me luck 

Xx




Update!!!!

Not one day missed

I’m absolutely shattered,5 more days to go, Would love to hit £20,000

Thanks for all the support xxx



Ukraine fund raiser

Hi Friends

I’ve decided to try and raise some money for Ukraine.

I know everyone gets a bit fed up with just giving pages, this is a real challenge for me, I’m going to keep it simple and earn every single penny.

KM for CASH

10 KM for £10,000

I’m setting a daily target of 10km with a sponsorship target of £10,000

My target, 10km run/jog, walk every single day until I raise £10,000

Anyone that knows me will laugh and think impossible, I hate running, I have several injuries which make running painful, and have very little time spare.

I’m setting my target high, this really will be an insane challenge.

I’m expecting to run,jog,walk  as early as 04.00 am to fit this into my day.

Every pound really will count.

If you believe in my challenge, or want to just see me in pain!!  Please help and sponsor me.

I will post daily results on my Insta and face book page.

I will be held accountable for every single day until the £10,000 is raised.

My just giving page will be set up as a group page.

I can add other KM for cash challenges.

Anyone that wants to join me in raising money can set their own KM for Cash target’s and be accountable for your own challenge.

All funds will then go towards this fantastic charity!

My personal target is £10,000

Monday is day 1!!!!

**** update, To make this challenge harder and because I’m stupid, I have committed to 28days of running,jogging, walking 10km, every day. No days off,!!

Please dig deep, share with friends, any money will help!
