Running EVERY DAY for a whole year!
There are so many charities to choose from that do amazing things every day but I have chosen to raise some money for 2 charities that I hold really close.
Firstly, ADAM foundation, who do incredible work for the local community which stemmed from seeing their boy Adam stabbed and killed in November 2017 in Prescot. They are still campaigning to catch the culprits and also help so many people through raising awareness of the effects of knife crime.
I will also be raising money for Cancer Research UK. Without the work of this amazing charity, we would not still have my dad here as when he had his first cancer (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) he had a brand new drug trial which was a huge gamble but saved his life. He has since had 2 other types of cancer. My auntie had to have 3/4 of her stomach removed through cancer and I recently had treatment for skin cancer too so it only seems right to try and give back to them.
**NOW FOR THE CHALLENGE**
I will run a minimum of 5km EVERY DAY throughout 2021 although there will be days where I run more i.e. I will be running some 10km’s, Half-Marathons throughout the year. By doing the minimum of 5km, that will be the equivalent of 1.825 million meters. This is like running to Naples, Italy!
I will be finding out what I have raised on New Years Day 2022 and splitting whatever I raise equally to the ADAM Foundation and Cancer Research UK.
