I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Double Marathon in the Coldswolds.
Gail Jamieson and Sally Polkey have decided to take on a huge challenge to raise much needed funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Our original challenge, Race to the Castle in May, has been cancelled by the organisers due to the storms earlier this year destroying a large portion of the route.
However, all is not lost. Sally and I have transferred to Race to the Tower which is at the end of June and consists of 2 back to back marathons. Yikes!
We will be running, jogging and walking Day 1: 26.5 miles with 4250ft of elevation and Day 2: 27.2 miles with 3640 ft of climb in the beautiful Coldswolds.
This will involve months of hard training over the Winter and Spring months to safely build up our endurance and nutrition capabilities💪. We will keep you updated with our progress.
Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research.
Please support us and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.
Thank you so much in advance. Every penny counts!
My donations could fund...
24 hours with a nurse on our Support Line
or
11 hours of early diagnosis research

My Updates
Bib has arrived
It's 2 weeks until Sally and I stand at the start line to face the biggest running challenge of our lives. Race to the Tower, double marathon weekend.
In 5 weeks time, Sally and I should be finished doing our double marathon Weekender
Training is going well with increased back to back weekend mileage.
UPDATE: Race to the Tower
When Sally and I received the dreaded email saying RTTC was being cancelled we were bitterly disappointed. Once the realisation had sunk in we started looking at alternative Ultras.
2 month count down
In exactly 2 months, Sally and I will have completed day 1 of our multi-day Ultra. How exciting is that!
Training plans
Happy New Year. It's 2022 and the real hard work begins. Training plans printed, daily mileage calculated from kms to miles, and week commencing dates worked back from race day.Thank you to my Sponsors
