About

Seeing as COVID interrupted my travel plans, I have been challenged to a virtual adventure, whereby I will run, walk, cycle (etc) the length of the Grand Canyon (280 miles) before the 31st of January, mapping my journey virtually via The Conqueror app. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am doing this challenge to fundraise for Q.Learning Nepal, a remarkable charity working in the Himalayan mountains. Their efforts, supported by fundraisers like this, make it possible for children and young people on the slopes of Kanchenjunga to have better life chances through education. You can find out more about the charity through their website here: https://www.qlearningnepal.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In line with Tier 4 restrictions I will be covering the 280 miles by running, walking, cycling, skateboarding etc around my local area and recording the distances via my smartphone. You will be able to keep up with my progress via social media...
