Millie's Flawed Hero Marathon in Memory of Ping

Millie's Flawed Hero Marathon:

On the 27th April at the stroke of midnight I will be doing the Flawed Hero Marathon in memory of my big brother, Ping - proudly wearing his medal as I take on this challenge.

A marathon was never something I thought I would find myself doing, but I am doing this same one that he did a year ago, to help raise money for the Flawed Hero Movement in his memory.

One thing is for certain, I definitely won't finish it in even half the time Ping would have finished a marathon, but I look forward to doing it in his footsteps and remembering him as I do.

A bit about what the money will do:

The money will be donated to The Flawed Hero Movement, a local charity that was close to Ping's heart & helps get people together who are struggling with their mental health. This means so much to me, as I don't want anyone to ever feel like Ping did.

So far the £7,301 raised in Ping's memory has enabled the Flawed Hero Movement to purchase two stainless steel ice baths, so that they can coach men & women through cold water immersion, breathe work & stress management. This will help to give people the tools to handle life better.

The Flawed Hero Marathon will also raise money for pancreatic cancer, however, any money that I personally raise will go specifically to the Flawed Hero Movement as mental health is so close to my heart. You can read more about the Flawed Hero Movement below...

A bit about the Flawed Hero Movement:

We all have pasts, backgrounds, and stories. We all go through, and/or are going through, tough times.

There is no doubt we are in a mental & physical health crisis.

However, I want you all to understand that none of us are broken. We don't need fixing. We are Flawed. We are human, and we are awesome.

I just think we are struggling with direction & collective belonging.

Pick an event that excites you. Get a group to do with you. Raise money & awareness for causes.

This is the Flawed Hero®️ Movement.

A positive community, focused on improving their lives through wellness, and the lives of others through fundraising. The Flawed Hero®️ Marathon 2024 was going to be a one off, it has now started a movement.

Safe & supportive spaces within the community.
