[Story] Finished 123 km New Year’s Day charity run — nearly £8,000 raised!

On New Year’s Day, I ran 123 km in one day to raise money for Brain Tumour Research, inspired by my sister’s diagnosis.

It was brutal, mentally and physically, but over 240 donors helped make it possible, and BBC coverage gave the fundraiser a huge boost — nearly £8,000 raised so far.

Sometimes ordinary people do extraordinary things when motivated by purpose and support.

I think 123km is quite an impressive achievement, and especially for a good cause, that's even more motivating.

Thanks so much! It definitely pushed me to my limits, but knowing it was for a good cause made every kilometre worth it.

Absolutely massive effort. 123 km is no joke, especially solo and for a cause like that. Huge respect to you and your sister, and congrats on the funds raised
