About

As I approach a significant birthday where I maybe should be thinking of settling down with a pipe (I don't smoke) and slippers in front of the fire, I've decided not to do this and instead to do a year of (mainly running)challenges and use them to raise funds for The St Petrocs Society, the Cornish charity which supports the homeless.
I am a trustee of St Petrocs and have been involved with them for some time. Demand for our services is at a high. This is not right, no one should be homeless in this country in the 21st century. 

To support them, I've set myself a few challenges for 2024-
April - London Marathon - 26.2 miles along this iconic route. 
June - Scilly 60% - 38 km split over 4 of the inhabited Scilly Islands.
August - Bring Out Your Dead - 24 hours of 5 mile loops on the Cornish Coast Path - 500 steps in each loop and no more than 10 minutes break at a time!
September - The Woods - 12 hours of continuous 4 mile loops around Tehidy Woods. 
November - The Annual Sleep Out at The Eden Project - this is an official fund raiser for St Petrocs and involves a night spent sleeping outside.
I may add another couple of events as the year progresses.....

So quite a year planned but this is nothing compared to the challenges people without a home face.

I hope you can support me with a few pounds which will go directly to supporting those who so need help at a terrible time in their lives.

Thank you!
