Story

In May, I shall be attempting to run across the country West to East, along the Wainwright Coast to Coast path. Most itineraries cover it as a 12-14 day hike. I'm going to be trying to run it in 7 days, which works out at roughly a marathon a day over some of England's hilliest countryside. It's nowhere near being a record, but it's a massive challenge for me. I've never done anything like it before.

I’m running to support Sarcoma UK, having lost a good friend to the disease last year. Sarcoma UK is a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep our Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care. Thank you for your support.
