Helen Louisa's 100 mile quest

Fellow blogger and fundraiser Helen Louisa first contacted Leukaemia CARE about a year ago to recycle stamps at her workplace The London School of Economics. She has now set herself a much bigger challenge. She says:

In May 2008, I said I would run 100 miles (160KM) in organised races over the next year, ending with the FLORA LONDON MARATHON 2009 to raise money for the fantastic charity Leukaemia CARE.

I am not built like a runner and the longest distance I've ever run was 10K in 2005, but I do love a good challenge and this sure beats watching TV all day!

You can read about her recent runs (the Dulwich 5k, Blackheath 5k, Vision 5k Hackney, Beckenham Trail 10k) and her training on her blog. With another 84.5 miles still to clock up we're all wishing you the very best of luck Helen! As someone who ran my first 5k last month I'm absolutely amazed by that kind of commitment: Go Helen! Let us know how you get on ok?

Well done Helen for passing the quarter way stage of your 100 mile quest. Have a look at Helen's blog to see the latest photos.
