So back in 2021 I decided to do a year long fundraiser for TCHC. This was on the back of the pandemic and wanting to make a difference to the children who require care at the Sheffield Children's hospital, where I was working at the time as an ODP (Operating department Practitioner). I saw first hand the great work and support that the charity provided.

Well this year has started and I've had this niggle. This voice in the back of my mind to do something big again and make a difference. Of course, even though I no longer work for the Hospital, TCHC was the first charity to come to mind. But what could be bigger than 10x crazy running and fitness challenges over a year long fundraising attempt where we raised over £2500! Thought long about this and I thought, what could I do that is challenging? And I mean truly challenging for me. To the point where I think some of you may even doubt that I am capable?

So here you have the Marathon a month challenge for 2024.

Every month of this year I will be completing a run that is a minimum of 26.2 miles. I say minimum as there may be a few Ultra Marathons thrown in, just for the fun! This will be a mixture of formal events and just going out and running 26.2 miles on my own or maybe with some friends.

I sincerely appreciate any support, donations, likes and shares on social media. And if you'd like to follow my ventures my Instagram & TikTok handles: @Joeleerunning

Like with my challenges back in 2021, everything I do is with the charity and the children under the care of the hospital who show courage and bravery each and every single day.
