I'm fundraising in honour of two incredibly important people in my life.

My friend Graham Sims who has helped countless new dads when they have been suffering at the beginning of thier parental journey. Graham helped me at my lowest point and I owe him a lot. Sadly he was diagnosed with terminal cancer this year.

And my mum. One of the fittest and healthiest 71 year olds you could meet. In June this year she started to feel unwell. 7 weeks later she was gone. Vasculitis is a little known illness that can hit anyone. I'm fundraising in honour of mum and to fund vital research in helping prevent less suffering in the future..

My aim is to raise £1000 for each of the charities, and any help you can give would be greatly appreciated

So what will I be doing to earn your sponsorship?

On the 12th January -; the day before my mum's birthday - I shall be completing 10 rounds of

1km run 10 burpees

800m run 20 burpees

600m run 30 burpees

400m run 40 burpees

200m run 50 burpees.

By completing the 10 rounds in total it will be 30km running and 1500 Burpees.

I expect it to take 10-11 hours but it may take longer.

It will be far from pleasant but that's nothing compared to what the people who suffer with these two terrible illnesses go through so please give what you can.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Ben
