Andy’s 6 in 6 challenge
Donation protected
The Coronavirus has had far reaching consequences affecting everyone in the world. It has also affected friends, family and local businesses.
During this time I have been furloughed and it has given me time to reflect on life. It has also given me time to run and exercise. As a result I have decided to try and do some good and help support some local interests which are now struggling without their usual events and fundraising support.
In a normal year, I would be spending time fundraising for my daughters school and helping their gymnastics club raising funds. Due to the Coronavirus these local causes which help entertain and develop our children, are not able to conduct their usual fundraising activities which they rely on to help provide new equipment and resources for our children.
Friends of Earlswood raise money throughout the year for both the Infant and Junior school providing vital funds for additional resources. They have recently agreed to help fund the renovation of both libraries. Due to the coronavirus they have been unable to hold these fundraising events, which will see a reduction in the funds available.
East Surrey Acrobatics are a small gymnastics and trampolining club which are also missing out on fundraising events due to the coronavirus. They need new equipment to help continue developing the children and keeping them active. I think we can all agree that after this lockdown our children will all want to get back to it again!
Big charities are getting support at the this time, so I wanted help some of the smaller ones.
I love challenging myself and I am going to undertake my biggest challenge yet. I am attempting to run 6 marathons in 6 days in the hope of raising some money for some good causes. It will be an awesome test of mind and body. It will test me more than ever (am I having a midlife crisis? 40 this year!)
If you feel this is a suitably challenging and you fancy supporting me in my efforts please GOFUNDME.
I will post regular updates on how I am doing on Facebook, Instagram and obviously Strava to verify my efforts. #6in6 My Facebook event which will be updated is https://www.facebook.com/events/1196155334165482/
