About Kevin Mars
Hi I'm Kev a former RM.
An Accumulator – to run the same mileage as the day of the month.
Day 1 = 1 mile
Day 2 = 2 miles
Day 3 = 3 miles ..................................etc
All the way to 31st = 31 miles (Covid unfortunately put the kybosh on March's attempt so I will be running the 31 miler on 1st May)
I've added an extra 2 miles to day 1 & 2 to make it a nice round 500, would be rude not to.
Thankfully no Round the Rock race (Jersey) on the 6th day which added 43.42 miles to the last attempt in August.
I have attempted this challenge thrice and not succeeded but I've continued to take something from each attempt and learn from it.
On the final day I will be running from St Helier to St Aubins and back (6 miles) 5 times, plus a little extra.
Join me for a mile and donate.
All proceeds go to Rock2Recovery who support serving, ex service personal and those that work in the Blue light services and their families.
Thank you for taking the time to support this amazing charity.
Please message me if you fancy running with me at any point through the challenge. Company always welcome.
Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Rock 2 Recovery, was formed in 2015 by Jamie Sanderson and Jason Fox, after they both experienced their own battles with stress after transitioning from the Royal Marines.
Our mission is to save and change the lives of those in our Armed Forces, our Veteran Community, the Emergency Services and their families who are affected by stress. Our purpose is to inspire and coach towards a more positive future.
Sessions are free to our clients and so fundraising has a vital part to play for us.
Following our unique experiences, we recognise the need for rapid preventative interventions, specific coaching and assistance.
Our non-clinical approach is aimed at inspiring, coaching, motivating and supporting individuals to experience real and positive change in their lives by "rethinking your thinking". We encourage everyone to engage in their own recovery and find their "rock".
Join our wonderful community of inspirational people from all walks of life, who encourage each other to achieve personal goals, including Service people and Veterans who’ve been affected by stress themselves. We could not provide the support to those who need us without our supporters and fundraisers, some who have used the service and want to give back and others who have been inspired by stories they have heard about the work that we do.
All of us at R2R thank you for your efforts and for every single penny raised, we couldn't do it without you!
