Day 31

That's it, all done and got the t-shirt! Although I reached the 100 mile mark a little while back I kept going (at a reduced rate of course) until the end of the month. I finished on just over 154 miles and raised £668 for Combat Stress. Thank you all so much for the support, it is very much appreciated!

Day 18

Challenge complete. Having done around 10 miles today all told, that’s me over the 100 mile mark! I’ll crack on till the end of the month, but chuffed to finish. Again, thanks for the support and donations, it really makes a difference!

Day 14

I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm enjoying this, but the old legs are getting quite used to this now! I'm getting a bit quicker and there are (marginally) less aches. Just over 75 miles done now and on to the vinegar strokes of the challenge. I'll also be doing the Children's Cancer Run at Newcastle Racecourse with Maddy and the boys on Sunday. Cheers all again for the support!

Day 10

Day 10 and 50 miles in. Halfway there! Going well and getting used to being this active again. Still really hate running though. Better news is that I reckon I’m down from a D to a C cup and I’m ironing shirts over a shallower wok now. Thanks again to all those who have supported me through this, I’m truly humbled!

Day 4

Everything's hurting, but pain is weakness leaving the body and sweat is just the fat crying so they say etc........  Still, now past the 25 mile point and still determined to finish this!  Determined or stubborn, can't tell which.  Thank you all again for the support, it really means a lot!

Day 1

Up and running so to speak with the challenge! Ran 4 miles this morning and walked 1.5 this afternoon. It’s fair to say I still hate running and I feel like I’ve been filled in. I think I could have only gone slower if I’d moonwalked it.  Still fat after one run, disappointing.  Never mind, still energised to crack on and I’ll be up at 5 tomorrow for round two. A massive thank you to all who have donated, I’m incredibly grateful for the support!

I'm taking on 100 Miles in May for Combat Stress

During my service in the military, I was diagnosed with severe depression, stress, anxiety and post traumatic stress.  These illnesses still have a profound effect today and require daily management.

This year I'm taking on 100 Miles in May 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.

You are such an inspiration. To be on your own journey whilst continuing to think of others is the kind of person you are. I hope this helps you to find your own inner peace.

Great effort for a great cause Daz. I did something similar for Cancer research a few years ago when I was in a difficult place myself. Worked wonders! Fresh air, cleared my head, a major mental reset and met my wife to be. Best of luck buddy for all the good reasons ❤️
