Andy Runs Ultras

And he is off… 4 Ultras this year supporting those navigating cancer. That's over 314KM to run in just these 4 ultras and over 60,000 feet in elevation gain , that's like running up Everest twice! The training for these 4 ultras will take me through hundreds more miles as I prepare to take each one on. As a cancer survivor it is important I support those also going through an extremely difficult and emotional time. Cancer redefined my life, it will always be a part of who I am today. This year I will run 4 tough events raising for two of the most incredible charities. ChemoHero and MacMillan. I'll kick off the incredible year in April with a 54K run called The Burger Run, more details on that one are available on my website runningwestwardho.co.uk Then it's North Downs 50k - July Tour du Mont Blanc 160K - August UTMB Mallorca 50 - November It's going to be a tough year, but I want to keep pushing so I can support those going through cancer. More about the charities ChemoHero was established by Lisa Wallis whilst she was going through breast cancer treatment, sadly Lisa lost her battle in 2021 but her memory continues with ChemoHero who gifts Boxes of Kindness at a cancer patients first treatment. Boxes filled with the most thoughtful items to make the journey as comfortable as possible. Receiving a box is a very emotional moment. And MacMillan who provide expert support to those who are and have navigated cancer including their families. The work MacMillan carry out makes a significant difference at one of the most difficult times. How your donation makes a difference. A ChemoHero box costs around £85 to put together, the value of all the items is over £150 and the emotional value of receiving one is unmeasurable. Your donation will ensure more Boxes of Kindness can be gifted to cancer patients at their first treatment. MacMillan have provided some amazing figures for how your donation will positively impact cancer patients and their families £10 - can fund 25 copies of the 'Coping with Fatigue' booklet £24 - can help run the MacMillan local advice service for 1 hour £34 - could pay for a MacMillan nurse for 1 hour, helping those living with cancer £67 - could support the MacMillan welfare advisers on the MacMillan Support Line offering vital advice to cancer patients on benefits, grants and tax credits that are available. £140 - will pay for a MacMillan Support worker for 1 day who helps people living with cancer receive the support they need So please hit that donate button and together let’s make a massive difference to those who are going through cancer. Thank you Andy
