The 2.6 Challenge

[p]I am supporting Jessie’s Fund in the 2.6 Challenge. I aim to do 26 press-ups, 26 reach-squats and a 26-second plank a day for a week starting on the 26th April, the day on which the London Marathon should have taken place. I have always been a keen runner and ran the London Marathon six years ago, but unfortunately my running has been temporarily halted. A recent health issue and a long stay in hospital culminated in my left leg being amputated below the knee. I fully intend to run again and am currently fighting my way back to fitness, whilst giving myself time to get used to my fabulous new prosthetic leg. (A huge, huge thank you to the NHS!) This is going to be quite a challenge as I can manage ten press-ups at the moment, so please cheer me on and support Jessie’s Fund in its fantastic work. Let’s keep our charities going in these difficult times.[/p]
