Throughout October, Cardiff and Vale UHB Finance colleague Gareth Jenkins is running 500 kilometres for Cardiff & Vale Health Charity.
These challenges are all in memory of friend and work colleague Paul, who was also a big supporter of the Health Charity.
Gareth said, “During October, I’m planning to run a kilometre for every pound (up to the target amount) so that’s 500 kilometres (311 miles) in one month which would be by far my biggest mileage month ever at an average of 16k (10 miles) per day. As a big supporter of the Health Charity, Paul once ran the Cardiff Half Marathon in the Charity’s mascot Seren. I’d like to continue his amazing fundraising by taking on a number of events and other challenges.”
Below is a list of events he’s taking on, as well as some ad-hoc quirky challenges. You can check out his progress on his Instagram account @garethgoesrunning
