On 6th March 2022, Alexandra Ehlen, a local Cheshire runner will start her attempt of running 7 marathons on 7 consecutive days to raise funds for 7 charities. Alexandra says that the seven charities she has chosen are very close to her heart. The charities that Alexandra will be running in aid of are: The British Red Cross, Cancer Research UK, St Luke's Hospice, The Blue Cross, Police Care UK, Mind, and The Stoke Association.
Alexandra has is an established runner with a fair few marathons and challenge events under her belt, but this will be her greatest challenge yet! Alexandra has been sticking to a strict training schedule, including regular half-marathons and runs with friends and has been actively fundraising for the past 4 months. Her JustGiving page has reached over £3,600 and she aims to reach a target of £14,000 by the end of her challenge. The runs will all start and end at The Crow's Nest Cafe in Northwich on Sunday 6 March. Alexandra is looking for all kinds of support, from cheerleaders and donors on the day to donate onto her online JustGiving page.
Runner, Alexandra Ehlen, says:
"I started running with a C25K group in my village in 2017; the physical and mental benefits have made such a positive impact in my life, as well as making life-long friends via the village running group that fellow C25'ers Kath and Ange and I set up after the course finished. This challenge is a massive step up from my previous running challenges... the last one of which was the Chester Ultra Marathon on 3/07/21 which was 54 miles long. I just want to use my love of running to support those in need."
