Hi, my name is Bradley and for those of you that don’t know me, i enjoy running and pushing my body through the occasional challenge from time to time. I decided that during my Marathon training i’d like to try David Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge. For those that aren’t familiar, this involves running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours.. a total of 48 miles.

This creates a tough combination of physical and mental strain due to having limited time inbetween runs to recover, sleep and eat!

This will take place between Dec 22nd-Dec 24th and anybody looking to get involved feel free to get in touch, could even look at documenting the challenge as we go!

Now with the timing of this challenge being so close to Christmas, i thought why not do something more and help those who really need it this year. It’s a tough time of year for alot of people anyway and especially financially in this current climate.

Now i don’t expect everybody to donate money as its tough out there at the moment, but i’m sure we all have things that aren’t of use to us that we can donate.

I’m going to try and get in touch with some local businesses or places in Colchester that we could use as a drop off to store donations/gifts!

Also i may need some help/contacts on where to take the money and gifts, i’m thinking along the lines of Children’s Care Homes, Women’s Refuge etc or any other ideas anybody may have?

I’ll start off the donations with £100 from myself and if i don’t finish the challenge i will double that.

(anyone that knows me knows i will drag myself to the end)

Thank you in advance, i’m sure we can all pull together and make a difference, much love x
