4x4x48 for Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma is a relatively uncommon form of Blood cancer, however, it was the cause of death for 3,098 people in the UK between 2017-2019. It also has a low survival rate of just 29% of people surviving after 10 years.

Hi, I'm Ryan and together with my good friend Hugh we plan to take on the gruelling challenge of running 4 miles, every 4hrs for 48hrs to raise money for Myeloma UK. This challenege was originally started by American Navy Seal, ultramarathon runner and best-selling Author, David Goggins and is a true test of both mental and physical strength. We intend to start on the 1st of November and will finish on the 3rd.

We were inspired to raise money for this charity through my running coach, Robert McGaughey who was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2007. Having heard his story and how it has massively impacted his life, we knew it was only right that we raise money for Multiple Myeloma. I was truly inspired at how he did not let this hold him back and how he takes it in his stride, robert continues to work hard as a coach in ballymena as coaches Ballymena Performance Running and is an inspiration to us all.

We hope you are as touched with Robert's story as we are, and can help us in our goal of raising money for Multiple Myeloma.

Your funding will go towards groundbreaking research into new treatments to fight Multiple Myeloma, it will also go towards support groups and helping those who are suffering Multiple Myeloma. Every penny counts in the fight agaisnt this condition.

Many Thanks,

Ryan and Hugh.
