Hamish Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Hi folks i am afraid this is a shameless request for donations to aid my wife and her extraordinary challenge in the name of her mum. Who is undergoing cancer treatment. Suzie is planning and training to run around the island of Anglesey on the coastal path in a 3 day organised race. http://www.ringofire.co.uk she tell more here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/suzie-roscoe?utm_id=25 you won’t be alone other TR’ers have already contributed. she is a TRR member and driver ie one of us. thank you for looking and supporting.

Ben's wife Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Well done to Suzie for doing this challenge and I hope you smash your target. Come on folks, this is no lame leisure weekend that Suzie is on and the event is just going to be a tiny part of the effort she is putting in. Before she gets to the start line, she will have spent hours and hours doing miles and miles of training, got through several pairs of trainers and will possibly have said cheerio to a few toenails on the way. Please support her efforts for this really special cause. Good Luck, Suzie and very best wishes to your Mum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted April 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Thanks Vicky and thank you for the pm. it is going to be a massive challenge the training is all encompassing diet sleep running weights certain distances on certain days whatever the weather learning to eat and run ( harder than it sounds) learning what to eat. She already knows crusts on sandwiches can’t be chewed and swallowed whilst running any distance. buying back packs to suit her and the food and drink she needs to carry. She is funding all her entry fees and equipment costs. Any donation 100% goes to the north Wales hospital unit who are helping her mum. Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deggers Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Glancing through previous threads this morning, I just realised I'd missed this post the first time round (sorry Hamish). An incredible challenge, and a worthy cause if ever there was one. All the very best Suzie! Paypal donation added. Cheers, Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Me too Hamaish, - now sorted, Cheers, John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Thanks folks very generous. we took a trip to the island this weekend to see her mum ( who is doing amazingly despite being knackered from a treatment on Thursday) current COVID rules followed ! suzie took the opportunity to do a couple of reconnaissance runs of the coastal path just over 20miles. Holyhead clockwise. she hopes to do most of the unknown sections of route but only 5 months to go. she is IT savvy so is posting on instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/COqYsbNn9-Q/?igshid=vs14voyuw2v9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Looks an incredible challenge, my support has been added too Good luck Suzie Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4Mal Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Good luck Suzie. Donated this morning. Mal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Missed it first time round. That's quite a challenge, Good luck Suzie. I should think keeping your ankles intact running on a coast path is going to be a major challenge. Don't forget, you need to put energy in to get energy out, no doubt Hamish will be criss-crossing the island in the TR with sustenance. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Conradski Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi Hamish, I've just picked this thread up (my son, currently restoring a classic Mini is also blessed with the awesome name of Hamish). I know the Ring o Fire quite well as I trained with someone who ran it in 2014 - the second day is mega-tough. The best piece of advice I was ever given for trail running was: "buy shoes that drain well". Goretex shoes are great but your feet (or Suzie's feet) will roast like a Sunday joint. I have given up trail running (temporarily I am hoping) due to illness, the last hurrah being a top 30 finish in the Mountain Running World Cup in 2015. Anyway, donation on its way.

Hamish Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thanks Conrad. Generous and supportive from one who knows. there are a few of you out there in tr land who get involved in these extreme running events - I shouldn’t be surprised. but your motto is inspiring and I think I will adopt it for myself. “Don't stand when you can sit, don't sit when you can lie down" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
