On the 31 January 2023, Sally embarked on her biggest Marathon Challenge so far.

The World Marathon Challenge saw competitors run 7 Marathons on 7 different continents in 7 days. Starting in Antarctica Sally ran in Cape Town, Perth, Dubai, Madrid and Fortaleza before completing her final marathon in Miami.

In doing so she continued to help break the stigma associated with mental ill health and raise funds for 7 incredible charities close to her heart through public donations.

More people have stood on top of Everest than have completed the World Marathon Challenge and Sally will became just the fifth British woman and 1st female military veteran to have undertaken this incredible achievement.

Inspired to do more than donate? Sally encouraged you to get involved and create your own 7 - 7 - 7 adventure.

 

The challenge was simple; all you need to do was run, walk, cycle, ski, scoot, horse ride, skate, wheel or use any human powered form of transport to move 7 km each day for 7 days whilst asking 7 people to sponsor you £7 each.

 

You can still do this to support Sally and help raise money by:

 

  • COMPLETE 7 KM EVERY DAY FOR 7 DAYS

  • FIND 7 PEOPLE TO SPONSOR YOU £7

  • GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY YOURSELF

 

Ask your sponsors to use the GiveStar donation link and get them to leave a note of your name with their donation.
