Reason for this run


Originally scheduled for September '21, I chose to do a tough run as my Mum was having a tough time having lost her sister who had dementia.  I'd undertake something tough to show Mum I understood and to raise a little for The Alzheimer's Society.


The run would be postponed for a year after I was diagnosed with cancer in mid 2021.  


Coming back to running after an operation and chemotherapy I was more determined than ever to make a difference and chose to raise vital funds for The Alzheimer's Society, Macmillan Cancer Support and YoundMinds.

Fundraising total - £3500

the story of the run

On the trail

I took hundreds of photos each day posting some on Instagram, and when time permitted I went Live on Insta too - you can see them all across on Instagram.


The people I met along the way made the run for me, the picture you see in this section is when I met my Alaska Girls, Kris & Chera.
