Hi - I’m Victoria, a 47 year old mum of 2 who has signed up to a crazy challenge to raise money for a charity called The Captains Trust.

What is the challenge ????

Over seven consecutive days, from November 15th-21st

2026, I will complete 7 full marathons, across 7

continents, starting in Antarctica and finishing in North

America.

Yes 7 marathons across 7 continents in 7 days.

The Great World Race™ is one of the most ambitious

endurance challenges in the world, offering minimal recovery

time, extreme climates and conditions and is a real test of

physical and mental endurance.

The Captains Trust was created over 10 years ago by my husband when his late wife Lisa was diagnosed with cancer. Since Lisa’s passing, my husband has continued his philanthropic work via The Captains Trust focusing primarily on supporting local people facing cancer

and chronic illness. I have been passionate about charity work

and community fundraising for many years already, particularly for

cancer charities such as Clatterbridge Cancer Charity.

Unfortunately my husband was diagnosed with stage 1V metastatic melanoma approximately 7 months ago and we are now using the services of the organisations which we have previously supported through our charity.

Neil, my husband is undergoing groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment and I am so grateful for all of treatment we receive at Clatterbridge.

I want to raise as much money as possible so they can continue to support research and save lives.

This race is about resilience, hope and turning one of the hardest chapters in my life into something positive. I am not a runner, I only started running last year when neil was first diagnosed - to raise money for clatterbridge by running 5k everyday for 100 days and I raised an amazing £26,000. But I want to do more - one dose of immunotherapy treatment costs more than what I raised in 100 days!

Outside of the physical and mental challenges of The Great World Race, there are huge costs for

competing, training and getting the kit needed to race. I am looking for sponsors who will help

support me on this journey, while aligning themselves with an incredibly good cause.

Initially I am looking for financial support to help cover the cost

of completing The Great World Race £43,000, but then I’m aiming HIGH - part 1 of neils treatment costs £132,000 - can I raise that amount? Every penny will go to support Clatterbridge and hopefully save many more lives

Can you help by sponsoring me?

Every donation counts and I THANKYOU for every penny that you pledge… but if you want to donate more then here’s some ideas:

1. Sponsor for me to run a mile £100

I will be running 183.4 miles - you could sponsor a mile. Opportunity to dedicate that mile to an individual that I will carry with me on race day. When you donate please comment your dedication

2. Sponsor me to run a half marathon £2000

14 sponsorship opportunities at £2000 each. Branding on race day kit, social media shoutouts from now until race day. Mentioned on all platforms before, during and after the sponsored event.

3. Sponsor a marathon £5000

7 sponsorship opportunities at £5000 each. Branding worn on the marathon you sponsor, weekly social media shoutouts from now until the event and before during and after your sponsored marathon.

4. Main Sponsor 7-7-7 £20,000

What an opportunity to support this challenge - you will have headline branding on all the race day and training day kits, be featured in at least 3 social media posts each week from now until the event. Featured daily throughout the 7 day event on all platforms.

‍This is a chance to be a part of something truly great - I am running all of my training runs and all 7 marathons with an attitude of gratitude.

I am blessed with the opportunity to run when so many can’t.

I would be so honoured for you to come on this journey with me and support in any way that you can,

love and light

Victoria
