You are doing amazingly well, and the online community is always fantastic for our individual events! Thank you!
I don't post much here but I'm starting a 120km challenge in October for @alderheycharity.org - so far I'm just over £400. I've seen mates do the Three Peaks Challenge and been a bit jealous so when I saw this I saw a chance to turn envy into action. Without Alder Hey our daughter wouldn't be here.
