Mind The Wall - Richard

Richard's taking on "The Wall", but it isn't just about the challenge of running the 69 miles in 24 hrs... in order to run from Carlisle to Newcastle in June there's a lot to do. From the start of 2014 to the end of the race he'll have achieved:- a whopping, great 12369 miles that's the equivalent of over 32 full marathons in 6 months or as far as Lichfield to Barcelona in Spain worth of running for a massive enough time to watch 77 full games of football.. including extra time. That's nearly five days actively taking part when he could just be sat watching sport! 116 hrs |on very fired legs burning around the same calories as 116,000 kcals 642 Cadbury's Creme Eggs or having 551 pints of Guinness! in the procesS during which he complete 8 thirteen mile runs, 5 twenty mile runs, 2 full marathons and 1 ultra marathon He'll be covering such large distances that he will get through at least 3 pairs of running trainers over the period and he's doing all of this because of an even more important statistic. One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. mind PLEASE SPONSOR THE TEAM AT:- For better mental health http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/MindTheWall http://www.justgiving.com/Richard-parry42
