Marathon in a Month

My Activity Tracking

mi

My target 105 mi

I was seriously wounded on Herrick 16 and still in treatment with CS, I am going to attempt 4 marathons in November, in the hills around Rossendale.

This year I will be taking on Marathon in a Month to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

I’m taking vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.

Finally

Wednesday 27th Dec
It has taken me a lot longer to achieve the distance because I’m still struggling to understand what happened last month, but I told my dad I would be doing it and I couldn’t let him down. 
Wednesday 8th Nov
Sadly my father passed away this afternoon, I told him in his final days that I was doing this to help support Combat Stress, which means I will complete my goal even if I have to take a little longer to achieve 105miles, I will give myself 30 days from the 6th when I started.
This has now taken on a different meaning to me due to what has happened, ontop of the fact that I  have been supported by CS for years and my current Therapist will be helping me through this difficult time as well as helping me with my PTSD.

My goals

Thursday 2nd Nov
I will be starting my fundraiser on the 6th and completing my goal of 4 Marathons (105 miles) in the 19 weekdays from that date 🤞
