Slow one with the Mother because of the stiff legs after travelling to Leeds.
Go again at 18.45 from the Whistlestop before tonightโs game

The 84 represents how many hours Martha was with us all for. I will start at her birth hour of 8am on what would of been her 1st birthday and will start my last run at 7pm, to then finish on the hour that Martha spread her wings and left us last year.
This is my birthday present to Martha and will be by far the toughest thing, both physically and mentally, that Iโve done yet.
Hopefully, I can have someone different running each of the runs with me to help get me round and keep spirits high.
Please donate if you can for an unbelievable charity and amazing cause to support families with children of all ages, even if itโs just ยฃ2 or the price of a pint!
Thank you!

Heavy legs after not much rest after run 16 but another 4 miles done.
Into the last day, 4 runs left, 16 miles to go.
Roll on 4am for another 4 miles ๐๐ป
The aim is to do the majority of the runs locally to me, and the last day in Leeds, with the last run being Headingley stadium to Elland road starting at 7pm on 5th October.

Donations are still flying in, which is unbelievable and I canโt thank you all enough.
But please if you can, check out
@_4Louis
, visit their website to see what they do & what your donations do, or give them a follow.
Any support will be most appreciated and I will be forever grateful.
The structure of the running over the 3 and a half days is
21 X 4 mile runs (84 miles)
4 mile run every 4 hours on the hour
The time Inbetween runs will be used to rest, recover and refuel.
I will be raising money for 4Louis who help support families and people affected by the tragic loss of a baby by providing a memory box to the family of the treasured loved one.
If you can help by donating to the cause or joining me on one of the runs, it would be appreciated.
