On September 14th, I (Steve Kingsmith) will be running 100 km in support of the Amelia Roberts Fund. This is an incredibly important cause, and every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. That's why I've committed to this immense challenge of running 100 km.

Previously, the longest distance I’ve run is a marathon (42.2 km). This 100 km run will be a tremendous mental and physical test, and I will need all the support I can get. Your encouragement, through kind messages and donations, would mean the world to me!

Any contribution, big or small, will be deeply appreciated by myself, the Roberts family, and the Epilepsy Society. Thank you for your support!

I will be posting updates on how the training is going and more...

My Strava account is below, please feel free to follow along!

The Amelia Roberts Fund:

Amelia tragically died at home on the 20th December 2018 aged just 21.

Around her 16th birthday, she developed epilepsy in the form of Petit Mal seizures or temporary absences from her surrounding situation.

Supported by her dedicated medical team, she began a journey to tackle her condition using various combinations of prescribed drugs to control her fits, but to no avail. Even though these powerful drugs affected her energy levels it didn't deter her from trying to lead a normal life. Just over a year ago she started experiencing Grand Mal seizures where she lost consciousness.

Amelia found support from the Epilepsy Society who carry out important research and guidance to this awful affliction. She made the decision to donate her brain in the hope it will benefit others by providing valuable clues as to the cause and cure for this life threatening condition.

We thank you all for any donation, every penny helps.
