In a few days' time, I will be attempting to complete a 230km (143 miles) self-supported race through the Peruvian Amazon.

Aptly named the Jungle Ultra, the race starts in the Cloud forest at 3400m (11,000 ft) above sea level and ends in the Amazon basin. Over 5 days, runners will traverse through Manu National Park, facing 4200m (13,500 ft) of climbing, numerous river crossings, creepy crawlies, and 100% humidity. All food consumed and equipment used must be carried on your back, right down to the hammock you sleep in!

I have decided to run this event in aid of Street Child United, who use the power of sport to provide a global platform to support homeless children. There are over 150 million children worldwide struggling to survive on the streets. With just £50, SCU can provide care for one child, helping them on their journey to receiving official identification, which grants access to healthcare, education, and ultimately a safer life.

If you are interested in following along, the race starts Sunday, 1st June, and ends next Thursday, 5th June. My race number is 33, and you should be able to track the race through this website: https://btu.extrac.uk/

Thank you, everyone, all support is gratefully received and neither the SCU team nor I take it for granted!
