Hi

My name is Andrew and as a child at age 5, I suffered severe burns across most of my body which has left me with various lifelong disabilities. I have little running experience beyond some running up to 10k in University almost 15 years ago.

I plan to run the 34-mile Ultra Bach across the Swansea/Gower coastline this October - having never run a marathon or other longer race before. Major surgery in February 2024 has left me back at square one in my fitness.

I'll be doing this for my charity - The Katie Piper Foundation which is the leading charity in the UK providing burns rehabilitation, dedicated to supporting people who have experienced life-altering burns and scarring.

The Gower Ultra Bach is part of the Gower Trail races taking place in October 2024 https://www.runwalkcrawl.co.uk/gower-coastal-trail-races-2022

All your donations and hugely appreciated and will make a difference to this charity and the people they help.
