In January 2024 I turned 50, and to mark this milestone I set myself four challenges to complete throughout the year as follows. I have already completed a 24 hour spinathon, a walk from Hartland to Bideford and the Bideford Team Triathlon ... and the Budleigh Salterton Half Marathon is the last!To donate please visit my JustGiving page> http://tinyurl.com/ycc5vppw
I'm doing this to raise money for the amazing charity below and also to encourage others to be active and challenge themselves! Anyone is welcome to join me in any of the above challenges for as long or as little as they wish.
I've also been inspired to do this in memory of some special people who are sadly no longer with us. One is my Dad: I have always aspired to make him proud, because when he was here he always encouraged me to challenge myself. For my friend Stoddie - for her positivity to life and kindness to others. And for my friend Graham, who was an amazing unassuming athlete who would always put others' needs before his own.
The charity that I have chosen is Mercy Ships. My friend Rachel is one of their many amazing volunteers and who has inspired me to raise money for them.
Globally, there are five billion people who have no access to safe, affordable surgery when they need it. Mercy Ships is working hard to plug this gap. Since 1978, Mercy Ships has visited more than 70 countries, providing services worth more than £1 billion that have directly helped more than 2.5 million people. Mercy Ships has also trained more than 38,000 local health professionals in order to leave a legacy that lasts. Find out more here> https://tinyurl.com/3ne22hzm
So if you could support me in my challenges by way of donating and/or joining in wherever you feel able, I will have a very good time celebrating my 50th year!
