sometimes some people do something epic …

No Comments

There are many people who say they are going to do something, sometimes it’s more wishful thinking than any real commitment to making something happen.

100 miles and a £1,000+ With just a week to go before Paul sets off on his epic 100 mile Ultra Marathon he looks set to hit around a £1,000 in sponsorship for the Tameside based charity Our Kids Eyes, which is a decent effort when set against his original target of raising £500. Last […]
