Run 100K in September 2023

My target 100 kms

1 sprained knee and lots of walking

I set out to run 100 kms in September for charity. I was feeling great and was on track to hit my goal. But then, disaster struck. I sprained my knee after crossing the half way threshold.

I thought I had to give up my goal but then I thought it would be better to persevere and walk the rest of the kms. It wouldn't be as fast but it would still be a challenge and it would still raise money for charity.

So that's what I did, I started walking and it was actually pretty fun! Of course, there were challenges. For one thing, it took me a lot longer to walk than it would have taken me to run. But I didn't mind. 

It's the last day of the challenge and I am on track to finish. I'm so proud of myself for sticking with it even though I got injured and I am grateful for the donations. 

Heat Wave!

While I was hoping to discover some scenic local routes, the heat wave made sure I was confined to the gym treadmill. I still clocked those kms!

I’m running 100K in September for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to run 100 kilometres this September to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs. 

And with every kilometre I run, I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
