This June I will be running what has been dubbed 'the hardest ultra marathon in the world' - 230km through the Amazon jungle over 5 days. I will be carrying everything I need for the race, including all my food and the hammock I'll be sleeping in. I only started running at the beginning of the year, and haven't run a marathon let alone 5 in a row, so this is going to be quite a challenge!
I'm raising money for Rock2Recovery, a charity that supports the armed forces, veteran, those working in the emergency services, and all their families who are affected by stress. They have helped a number of people close to me, but also myself. They provide an incredible service and really do change lives, and I'd like to give back.
