I’m making prostate cancer history.

So thanks to all who donated.
I met my first goal of 100km from the 9 August, then extended to the 172 by the end of september and met that this morning running around Vienna.

it was hard, but im glad i set myself a challenge and then smashed it. ill keep running to the end of the month and see if i can hit 200?

Thanks all.

Ben

Almost there

So it's the 19 or 20th depending where you are reading this. I'm in Hong kong on my way to Vienna again.

With 10 days left in the month I need to run another 9km to hit my updated challenge of 172km run since 9 aug. Probably a sure thing :)

I am 50 short of my donations target, so if you haven't donated and can, please do!

Initial Challenge met

For those that have donated i completed my challenge of 100kms in 25 days, ahead of the 31 days constraint.

As stated in the previous post i have extended the challenge to 172 by the end of September. less lofty but i have some travel i need to do which will eat my available run time.

Thanks for reading.

The rules - updated again!

So arriving at the end of August, i have 8 days remaining of my initial challenge. I also have only 7 km left to run to reach my distance target, thanks in part to a big weekend double feature of 16 & 5 kms.

So i though i would extend my challenge to align with the "TheLongRun" initial suggestion of 72 km.

Therefore the new challenge is 172km before the end of September.

Thanks to those playing along at home. 

Progress @ halfway through

For those playing at home:
55% duration complete.
67% distance complete.
im hoping to get it done in 28 days now, if i can maintain this pace!
For the proper September charity period ill think of something challenging too.

The rules - updated

So the intention was from 1/9 - 30/9 i would run 100 kms. Turns out i can start right now, so im aiming for 100 kms by the 8/9 as i linked Garmin on 9/8!

I’m taking on The Long Run

This September for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, I’m giving it all I’ve got by taking part in The Long Run.

Prostate cancer is Australia’s leading cause of cancer, with 79 men newly diagnosed every day.

Will you donate today to raise funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and help end the pain of prostate cancer? Together, we can make prostate cancer history.

Thank you. 💙🙏

You can help love go the distance
