My motivation

At the start of the year, a day after his birthday, we lost my dad to prostate cancer.

He had been living with the disease since 2021 and had given it his all during that time. It wasn’t a battle or a gladiatorial fight. It was an everyday struggle, and there were enormously tough times we all went through. However, he persisted right until the end. Never lost his quick wit, which he was so well known for, and that was the most admirable thing to witness.

Next month, I'll be attempting to run 100km over the duration of the month... as well as growing my tache out.

Anyone who knows me is aware of how much I complain about running. For me, it's one of the hardest activities you can engage in and I get almost no joy from it. It's slow, repetitive and not remotely ADHD friendly. However, when I was thinking of a challenge to push my limits, it was a pretty easy decision.

I'm aiming to raise £1000 and beyond, to aid ongoing research and support for services focussed on Prostate cancer. A disease which will impact 1 in every 8 men.

I've no doubt the image of me limping along would make dad laugh. So, if you'd like to laugh with him please donate! If you can't donate, then please share ❤️

It was an honour to have known your dad, he always engaged in conversation on our visits interested to know what we had been upto, he was never down about his situation and showed great strength and fight despite his illness and how it affected him. He will be really proud of you and will definitely look down laughing when your struggling good luck Ben hayley

WE HIT THE TARGET IN 4 DAYS!

Thanks to everyone who has donated to my ridiculous challenge. I've no doubt your donations will be put to work in the best way possible.

I've extended the target to £650, and I'll be thinking of an additional stretch goal.

Maybe something fancy dress related
