104.8 miles. Four Marathons. Six Months. Every donation unlocks a new challenge.
I am running Yorkshire, Portsmouth, Rome and London marathons in six months. Every donation helps raise valuable funds for Blind Veterans UK and unlocks another challenge for me to complete along the way.
The fun part of Mission:104: donations unlock the painful, embarrassing and ridiculous challenges I have to complete.
The more you donate, the worse it gets!
