Story
In 2009 My wife, Sophie was diagnosed with MS . Overcoming MS is a small charity that Sophie discovered and it has been the one source of info and support that she has found to be invaluable. So I figured it would be nice to do my bit and put myself through some hardship in order to persuade you lot to part with lots of money. By the way...Sophie really doesn't want any sympathy, or any "oh no, how terrible for you" or any of that kind of soppy stuff.......she just wants your cash....so get donating and spread the word!
In 2015 I completed the World Marathon Challenge. 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days. This year Oscar was the youngest finisher of the Marathon Des Sables from GB
In December, We are in a team, which also includes my eldest brother Myles, who aim to be the first people to row the Atlantic in under 30 days. We will row for 24 hours a day, sleeping for two hours at a time and rowing for two hours at a time.
We will be raising money for Overcoming MS,
The World Marathon Challenge is an amazing logistical and physical challenge to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.
Participants will fly to Union Glacier, Antarctica, deep within the Antarctic Circle, to begin their challenge of a lifetime. After the first marathon commences on the 'Frozen Continent' on 17th January 2015, there will be a mere 168 hours left to complete the World Marathon Challenge.
During this seven-day time period, competitors must run standard 42.2km (26.2 miles) marathon distances at Union Glacier (Antarctica), Punta Arenas (Chile), Miami (USA), Madrid (Spain), Marrakech (Morocco), Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Sydney (Australia). In doing so, they will complete seven marathons on the planet's seven continents: Antarctica, South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Africa.
