I will be taking on the challenge of running over 200 miles in 6 days raising money for Kidney Cancer UK. This will literally be a run into the unknown, as although being a keen runner, I have never attempted anything this extreme. I am determined to complete this for all that are suffering with this horrendous disease. 

I am the owner of Howden Coffee, and being ethical and sustainable are strong threads that run through the business. We donate 5% of all coffee sales to charity, which includes Kidney Cancer UK. The reason that this charity is one of our charitable partners as well as being my charity of choice for this challenge a very personal one. My grandmother died a number of years ago of Kidney Cancer, and more recently a very good friend of mine was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Fortunately it was caught early, he had a kidney removed in April this year, and aside from regular check ups he didn't require any further treatment. He is now back to full fitness, running marathons and living life to the fullest. He will hopefully be joining me on some sections of my running challenge.

I want to use this challenge to raise awareness and funds to ensure we can stop people losing their lives to Kidney Cancer in the future. Thank you in advance.
