6x Ultra Runs (220 miles, 23.5k ft) for Mountbatten Hospice
Twelve years ago, I lost my mum, Carole, to cancer. In her final years, the Earl Mountbatten Hospice provided her with extraordinary care and compassion. These hospices rely on charitable support to continue helping people and families during their most difficult times, and I’ve always wanted to find a meaningful way to give back for the incredible kindness they showed my mum.
In a moment of questionable wisdom, I signed up for a series of six ultra marathons, spanning from the rugged coastline of South Wales to the towering peaks of Mid Wales. It's a massive challenge, but also the perfect opportunity to raise funds for a cause that’s deeply personal to me.
The total journey covers 220 miles with a staggering 23,515 feet of elevation gain. Starting in April, I’ll run an ultra marathon each month, culminating in September.
This challenge is about more than just miles—it’s about giving back to a charity that means the world to me. Thank you so much for supporting this cause and helping make a difference for others facing their own challenges.
