So 10 months into the challenge and ive hit the 700 mile mark while Laura is charging on ahead with an impressive 821 miles on the clock! To make things easy we're going to combine our pages so we're aiming for a target of £2000 (£1 per mile!) we'd love it if you could support us! The money raised will go towards making a massive difference in the lives of kids in Ethiopia! Thanks, Jonny and Laura

Ethiopians make incredible runners... Jonny Farrell does not! &nbsp;After a few checks on Google Maps "The Tonne Run" was born.</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">Ethiopia is 1,024 miles across at its widest point and so from the 1st January I will be lacing up my trainers everyday to attempt to run 1,024 miles in a year, all to raise funds for the amazing work that Stand By Me do in Ethiopia!</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">So from the 1st January, I am going to be lacing up my trainers everyday to go out and tear up the roads in the hope of reaching the target of 1,024 miles! &nbsp;The aim is to raise &pound;1,000 though knowing how generous you all are it would be amazing to see the target well and truly smashed again this year!</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">If you want any more info about the challenge get in touch!</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">Blessings,</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px;">Jonny</p> </span></p>
