Saints Way 2011

Run completed!

As well as following my progress below, please do visit my just giving donation page.

Wow! What a day. The run was much harder than I had expected because of the terrain, lots of mud, long/wet grass, and plenty of hills. The run took  little but under 7 hours and was a few yards under 30 miles in length (about 48 KM).

Many thanks to everybody who shouted out messages of support. I hope to post more details later. And it is not too late to make a donaton to Copperfeel, the breast awareness charity I was running for.

Running the Saints Way for Coppafeel

Every year I like to set myself a physical challenge and I like to utilise that challenge to raise money for charity. This year I am going to run the Saints Ways in Cornwall, from Padstow on the North coast of Cornwall to Fowey on the South Coast. We are still tweaking the route but it is likely to be just under 30 miles (about 48 KM).

The charity I will be running for is CoppaFeel, a breast cancer awareness charity organised by two friends of my daughter. Even if you do not follow my progress, even if you do not dontate, please read Kris's story, read how she developed breast cance at 23 and the problems she had getting her GP to believe her. Kris and her sister Maren created CoppaFeel to raise awareness of breast cancer amongst younger people.

I am going to be running the Saints Way on 17 August, and I will be blogging and Tweeting about my progress, and hoping to persuade my longsuffering family to support me, again.
