Run 100 Miles in October 2026

Help me reach my goal of £150

My target 100 mi

I’m running 100 Miles in October for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be running 100 Miles in October, from the 1st to the 31st, to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

I really wanted a goal for my exercise but this is a great cause and seems appropriate as my first ever race was for the Youth Cancer Trust. Raising some money for an important cause is spurring me on to get my shoes on and get out there. No donation is too little - I'll appreciate every one I get!

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. With practical and emotional support. With someone always there. A social worker that gets it.
With places to stay near hospitals. With campaigning to make health, welfare and social care work better. To champion, to problem solve and bring about change. 

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.

Challenge complete!

Sunday 8th Nov
I ran my last 5 miles on 31.10.26, and have been having a rest for the last few days. Across the challenge, I ran 59 miles (way more than I would ever do in a month anyway), and walked the other 41. In the final week, I had a bit of a cold and felt a bit out of energy but pushed to get those last 13 miles out in the final 3 days.
The highlights of the challenge across the month were achieving my fastest 10K time, making a 'parkrun sandwich' and walking 1.75 miles to the train station in just 23 minutes 😂🥴 I wouldn't recommend that last one, if I'm honest (especially with a brolley, and in a rain coat!)
I never doubted that I would complete it, but it was tough - especially towards the end. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me either through supportive words or sponsorship. Everything helps an amazing charity. I am glad I did this challenge, but I am going to be taking it easier in November!

End of Week 3.

Thursday 22nd Oct
22/10/26. There are 9 days left and I have completed 65 miles, so I have 35 left to do… But I’m constantly chipping away. Since the 14th, I have walked or run a total of 26 miles. Not bad for the one the PE teachers gave up on at school. I’m still just a few pence from my fundraising target and this is for a wonderful cause - so please donate if you can. Here is a photo of the Autumnal Sun from this afternoon’s run out and back on the Swale Way.

End of Week 2 (14/10/26)

Wednesday 14th Oct
Another 22 miles added which means the current total is 39 miles. It's a bit under where I'd like it to be, but half term starts next week, so I'm looking forward to more walking and running then. Running is definitely feeling easier each time.... Today (14/10) has been lots of little bits but it all adds up. Lugging my stuff around for work and walking between shops rather than taking the car... every little helps! 😂

Week 1 done

Wednesday 7th Oct
7th October - end of Week 1: Thank you so much to my lovely friends who have donated so far. We've raised £120 already!
I've managed 17.5 miles this week. I'd have liked to have done a bit more but I needed a couple of days rest! This week included a mixture of running and walking and the Sittingbourne 10k - we got lucky with the weather and it was a great atmosphere. 
I'll be getting back onto it tomorrow and hopefully I can push over the 20 mile barrier then. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

Offline donations: extra from my Mum (£10) and kind parent of one of my students, who overpaid and let me keep it - so I donated the difference here (£6).
