Major 6 Slam charity raise!

Hi everyone!

Do you want to contribute to a good cause and get the biggest bang for your buck?

This year I am (attempting to) running all Major 6 marathons, and I’d love to use the occasion to raise for charity ! See me suffer 6 times for only 1 donation.

To put things into perspective:

- ~12,000 people worldwide have ever completed all 6 majors

- less than 100 people worldwide have been able to do so in 1 calendar year

Why?

In many ways, I am a lucky and privileged person to be able to do this. There are a lot of people less lucky and I feel it would be a waste to not use this pretty unique challenge and try to give something back.

When realizing last summer I had the opportunity to do a Major 6 Slam, I had no doubt. 6 marathons in 1 year is one thing, all Majors is something else. Even though time qualifying for events, I want to raise as much as possible.

What?

$/€/£ for charities Wateraid and Meningitis Research

How?

When?

The donation page will stay open until after the last marathon. My schedule is as follows:

- March 3rd Tokyo

- April 15th Boston

- April 21st London (yes that’s right, 2 in 1 week )

- September 29th Berlin

- October 13th Chicago

- November 3rd New York

Every donation will give a boost to keep going. So if you have something to spare, hit the link

For transparency, entries are confirmed (NYC is pending) and every donation will go towards charity, not my own expenses.

Let’s go!

Ps. For the latter, if you want to hook me up with some gear and support me that way, love to hear from you!

And for the folks who are interested in my preparation, all my runs are on Strava.
