Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am fundraising for Coach Core, a social mobility charity targeting 16-24 year olds who traditionally may experience barriers, discrimination, and lack of opportunities.
Coach Core delivers an inclusive and impactful sports coaching apprenticeship that develops the talents of young people and provides them with a range of vital skills for sport, work and life.
On May 18th I will start the Cape Wrath Ultra. I will be running 250 miles (400km) over 8 days from Fort William to Cape Wrath(the most north-westerly point of Great Britain).
Coined to be one of the toughest ultras around (it is 100 miles longer than the infamous Marathon Des Sables) it will require some serious type 2 engagement.
With the longest day being 45 miles and strict cut-offs in place, as many as 40% of the field do not make it past day 3.
I will be camping each night and there is the luxury of a shower at the end of day 7!
I am going to encounter much Scottish weather, off-trail routes, bogs, multiple daily river crossings and elevation over the week of more than 11,000m.
I’m excited to be properly off grid and to experience the Scottish wilderness. I feel hugely privileged to be able to be on the start line and am so grateful for the journey.
Thank you for the support.
