Super Supporters Go the Distance for Fifteen Years of Golddigger Trust!
How far is far when it comes to running.. 5 kilometres, 15 kilometres?… well, what about 150 kilometres!!? That’s the distance Naomi and her husband James targeted to do together over just 15 days in an attempt to raise money for fifteen years of the Golddigger Trust! What makes this even more impressive was that they completed this challenge over the lockdown while restrictions were set to allow going out only once per day for exercise!
The pair teamed up on a ‘divide-and-conquer’ style approach to the distance, with James taking on 10 kilometres a day for 15 days, while Naomi tackled the challenge of how to run 5 kilometres a day for 3 days… while INSIDE their flat!
On completing their challenge, James said “by the half way mark we were struggling but everyone’s incredibly generous donations kept us going to the end! Extremely grateful for everyone’s support.”
As a result of this incredible joint effort, they actually exceeded their initial target distance, with this reflecting on their fundraising, with their original target of £1,000 boosted up to £1,220 by their enormously generous supporters.
