Worthing resident, Mark McCallum, is to complete a 60 Mile Extreme Running Challenge from London to Brighton in aid of Chestnut Tree House, Sussex’s only children’s hospice, on September 22.
The challenge, an epic run from London to Brighton, starts at dawn, overlooking London before passing through the spectacular countryside of south east England.
The run passes through the edge of north Kent and on to the North Downs. From here, the paths and tracks of the route run through fields and lanes until the challenge of the South Downs awaits!
From the painful ascent up to Black Cap, the runners then go all the way by trail through the beautiful Sussex hills, to the finish camp on the sea front.
Mark, who has run marathons before, but nothing quite so extreme, said:
“I’ve run Marathons before and raised money for charity, but wanted to do something extra special this time.
“As a parent, you hope more than anything that your child has a happy and healthy life. However, for those people who are in the situation where this isn’t the case, Chestnut Tree House provides an invaluable support to them.”
Chestnut Tree House needs £3 million per year to run its services for children and young adults in Sussex and south east Hampshire with progressive life-limiting conditions.
