Story
Hello Everybody,
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Originally, I started this page as I wanted to raise as much money as possibly by taking part in the London Marathon. Now, those of you who know me, know that I like to set myself crazy challenges, and love nothing more than spending my weekends putting myself through what some people would describe as 'hell'
After meeting with Rob & Carole, and learning more about Annas Hope and the fantastic work that they do, I have decided that rather than just raising money from the London Marathon, I will continue my fundraising throughout the whole year, and continue to push myself in completing a number of crazy challenges. I have set myself a personal target of completing at least one race a month - some of which are considered to be the hardest races in the UK. My fixture list so far...
January 2016 - Folksworth 15 (15 miles) - COMPLETED, Tough Guy 15k - COMPLETED
FEB 2016 - Valentines 30k - COMPLETED, Cambridge Half Marathon - COMPLETED
MARCH 2016 - The Suffering Relentless Legends Challenge (A marathon distance obstacle race) - COMPLETED 23 MILES IN 7 1/2 HOURS
APRIL 2016 - London Marathon!! - COMPLETED. 3.39.49
MAY 2016 - Langtoft 10k - COMPLETED. 42.47, a new PB and was 3rd female, Rat Race Dirty Weekend (20 miles), Nuclear Enslaught 12k, Tough Mudder (I am aiming to complete 4 laps, 40+ miles over the weekend)
JULY 2016 - Ram Ran 48km (4 x 12km laps in one day! COMPLETED! And I was one of only 3 females to do so! ) Man V Lakes (a marathon distance obstacle race in the Lake District - COMPLETED! 5:44:24 and was the 9th female across the line!)
Cotswold 24 hour race - http://www.100milerun.com/cotswold-24-hour-race/ This is perhaps my biggest challenge to date. How many 9km laps can I run in 24 hours.... Eeeek!
AUGUST 2016 - Dirty Dozen Challenge (3 races, marathon distance, one day)
SEPTEMBER 2016 - Man V Mountain (20 mile obstacle course, that includes climbing mount Snowdon!) & Great North Run
OCTOBER 2016 - Great Eastern Run (where I will be representing Team Annas Hope)
DEC 2016 - TBC
As you can see, I have a busy year ahead of me! And knowing that I am raising as much money as possible for this fantastic charity will help motivate me even more through all my training & events! This is just the list so far, I will be adding plenty more - so keep an eye out for updates!
