UltraMarathon for ANE

Saturday 24th October will mark another incredible moment for GLST as Jordan Slater, best friends of ours, will take on an UltraMarathon Run to raise money and spread awareness of ANE.

Seeing the amazing achievements of Grayson’s Legacy Trust & the fundraising that has taken place so far, Jordan wanted to do something that would test his physical capabilities. Being a sporting fanatic, he’s looked at ways he could incorporate this into a fundraising event. Lo and behold: THE ULTRARUN…100km (62.14 miles)

Jordan will take off for his run at Cumnor, Oxford and will make his way across counties, ending in Marlborough circling the Avebury Stones. Lucky for him, there is a pub close by for a victory drink… or two!

All being well, he hopes to complete this in 14 hours- starting and finishing in the dark. Jordan will have some friends join him along the way to help him keep up his pace and support him throughout. The run will take place predominantly along the ridgeway.

Jordan has set a target of £1400- £100 per hour! Since lockdown, Jordan has been setting himself goals to achieve the longer runs and is currently at 32 miles taking just under 6 hours. What an incredible achievement so far. You can find Jordans journey over on his IG: Jordans_5k_to_100k_journey. A Just Giving page has been set up for his fundraise. Please do take a look, donate if you can and share with others. Let’s spread the word on ANE!
