100 Miles in March 2026

I'm taking on 100 miles in March for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’m taking on 100 Miles this March for Young Lives vs Cancer. 

I am doing this in honour of the bravest boy I know. Owen, who has stage 4 neuroblastoma at only age 2. 

Most of you know I do no exercise so this is a massive challenge for me, but if Owen can face cancer every day then I can face a bit of exercise and hopefully raise lots of money. 


I’ll be completing 100 miles between 1st and 31st March to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today. 

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

Completed!!!

Tuesday 31st Mar
I’ve now completed the 100 miles! I left it right up to the last day which I didn’t want to do but I did the last 7 miles I needed today. A special thanks to Gary for doing most of the miles with me and pushing me through. 
I’m super proud of what I’ve achieved and the money raised. Thank you every single one of you who donated :) 

Last bike ride

Tuesday 31st Mar
My last ride today taking me over my 100 miles!

Getting ready!

Wednesday 25th Feb
I have now downloaded strava and will be tracking my walks from now on however they won’t count until march. I just need some practice after hardly moving off my sofa for the last how ever many years 😂
This may not be a big challenge for some but for me it is, I don’t exercise and can’t do high intensity exercise due to my Chiari malformation, so I will be having to do long walks or slow bike rides to get my 100 miles which will take me longer than your average person. This is really pushing myself out of my comfort zone but it is for an amazing charity so I am going to make sure I complete it! 
Thankyou for your donations so far :) 

In honour of owen

Monday 16th Feb
I am doing this huge challenge in honour of the bravest boy I know - Owen. 
Owen has stage 4 neuroblastoma at only age 2. He faces so much head on every day. 
I absolutly hate exercise so this is a massive feat for me but I am determined to power through and do it, if Owen can face what he does then I can face 100 miles right?! 

Thankyou for sponsoring me. I will be updating every mile I do here throughout march :)
