After running 2 marathons across the Sahara in 2019 I felt it was about time for another challenge. So, over the Easter weekend I am attempting 5 marathons in 5 days (this time, closer to home with Phoenix Running’s “5 in 5” along the Thames from 28 March to 1 April).

This might look like a mid life crisis but it's all for a good cause as I'm raising funds and awareness for the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher, Surrey.

The Princess Alice Hospice is a charity close to my heart that provides support and care for those with life-limiting illnesses. They help patients, carers and family members in the home, in the community and in the hospice. The Hospice relies on fundraising to generate the majority of the funds they need to provide this wonderful care.

The training is well underway, the miles are clocking up, the carbs are being consumed and I’ve even invested in an ice bath for recovery!

Thank you so much for your support.
