My 5alive Challenge

I am taking on the challenge of running 5 marathons on successive days, starting with the London Marathon on April 23rd. This is with the aim of raising over £5000 for St Benedict's Hospice in Sunderland. I am tackling this challenge to celebrate 5 years great health since I was diagnosed with fNHL in 2012 at the age of 58

Inspirational, jamoza! Good luck with your venture for such a good cause - I don't envy you the training regime though :-)

I'm only really training for the first marathon at London where I'm aiming to beat my best time of 4:12:13. Can't do extra training for the other four without adversely affecting my London time. Will have to just tough it out for numbers two to five!!!!

Good luck with your run Jamoza! Your positivity is wonderful and inspiring!

Good luck Jamoza. A fantastic adventure ahead. My husband is raising money for CRUK by doing Lands End to John O Groats bike ride.

Good on him. Hope he's not too sore at the end (no pun intended)!!!

Lol. His end is his greatest concern. An excuse to buy yet more stuff! 😂

You are a rock star in my book. What a inspiration to all of us! I have always wanted to do the London Marathon. Good luck and get a massage and rest afterwards. What shoes are you wearing?
