At just after 5:30 this evening Henry Morris is setting off on what might be the ultimate running challenge.
In aid of charity, Médecins Sans Frontières he will be attempting to run 117 miles – nonstop – on what is originally known as the “Hardmoors 110 Ultra Marathon”.
A fell race up and down hills, over moorland, through bogs, shale, rocks, sand, mud, grass and grit, he is hoping to complete the distance in around 29 hours, stopping only for 5-minute refuels and “comfort” breaks.
MSF is a humanitarian aid organisation with a very ‘can do’ attitude. They get medicine and aid right into the heart of where it is needed and swipe political, race and war issues to one side to get there.
Join us in wishing Henry all the best on his challenge. You can support Henry by pledging donations to this fantastic cause at Henry’s Just Giving website or offer your words of encouragement at DragonDrop Adventures.
