For those of you that aren’t aware, Chris took part in the South West Climb’s Jurassic Coast 100k Ultra Marathon at the weekend.

He started it at Durdle Door (Weymouth) 9pm Saturday night and Completed it at Exmouth sea front Sunday 6pm!!

(That’s right 21 Hours)

Chris has been struggling with some niggling injuries leading upto this race so didn’t want to add any pressure to himself and in his mind ‘Let people down’ if he didn’t complete the race and people had parted with money to donate.

For those people that know Chris well, will know how much of a Humble and modest athlete he truly is, he is never one to try and gain any form of recognition or praise for his efforts or achievements! It’s just the type of man he is.

Now as I’ve already mentioned, for anyone that knows Chris well will also know of a charity that sits very dearly to his and his families heart, in the Name of Action Duchenne. It’s a charity based around the Rare genetic disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which sadly saw the passing of Chris’s and family’s much larger than life Brother/Son Ben’s life 10 years ago this last week.

Chris once said to me “For all the time Ben was suffering, He never once moaned!” And that’s always stuck with me and having the pleasure of being able to join Chris and help him to the line on Sunday I can safely say those fine words were echoed in Chris’s efforts!

With just 3 weeks training it’s absolutely astonishing that he completed this challenge in one piece and I think it needs the recognition and credit it truly deserves in the form of as many donations possible to this great charity!

He will absolutely hate me for this because he hates the limelight 😁

But if anyone can spare a donation it would be hugely appreciated!!

I also know that Chris’s Mum Anne was desperate for Chris to raise money for this chosen charity.

Dig Deep people let’s try and raise as much as we can ❤️

Thank you for helping me to support the life-changing work of UK charity, Action Duchenne.

Your donation will help fund projects which will empower young people living with the rare muscle-wasting condition, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic condition caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which makes muscles more susceptible to damage and leads to muscle wasting over time. People living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy experience progressive muscle weakness and typically need to use a powered wheelchair from their early teens. The heart and breathing muscles are eventually affected and most will require a ventilator in their twenties; life expectancy is around 30 years but has improved with palliative care developments.

There is no cure.

Thank you for your donation to help power Action Duchenne's vital work.
