100km Two Day Lake District Challenge!

This year I've achieved a lot in running. PB's in 5km, 10km, 5 mile, 10 mile and half marathon, as well as completing my first marathon, and a 50km Ultra Marathon to raise money for The Myton Hospice, a vital service in and around Rugby, my home town.
So I decided that I'm going to have to do something special to top that in 2020! I'm planning on completing a few silly challenges in the build up, but it will all be training for the big one. Over the weekend of June 13th & 14th, I will be running 50km on day one, camping overnight, and then continuing a further 50km on day two, to complete a 100km loop of the lake district.
Running 50km hurt a lot, so this is going to be some achievement!
I'm running this to raise money for Macmillan. We've all seen the green logo, the coffee mornings etc, but do we all know just how much they help not just the people, but the families of the people that require their services? We never know when we'll need it. I've put a much more detailed story on my Justgiving page, please have a read, and donate if you can!
It's going to be a real challenge, and it's going to be painful, but it won't be a patch on the pain the individuals and families that are affected by cancer have to go through, so please, GIVE GENEROUSLY so this help and support can continue, and be there for all of us, should we ever need it.
