Why are you doing this challenge?

On my 27th birthday, I received the news that my 26-year-old cousin died of prostate cancer. That moment made clear that disease doesn't wait — and that I need to do something while I still can.

How can I support this cause?

How does the debt repayment work?

Week 1 ended with a 25.60 km deficit (93.4 km run vs 119 km planned). In week 2, I ran 21 km/day — 4 km extra per day × 7 days = 28 km repaid. Since the debt was 25.60 km, this leaves a 2.4 km surplus going into week 3.

"I lost people to cancer. I'm running against it so you don't have to."

Week 1 ended with a 25.60 km debt. Week 2 target was 21 km/day — 17 regular plus 4 km to repay that debt over 7 days.

7 days × 4 km = 28 km repaid. Debt was 25.60 km. That's a 2.4 km surplus entering week 3.

The numbers are clean. Week 3 starts now.

Donate — Support Cancer Research →

I'm here to raise funds for cancer research.

I used to hear that prevention was enough — but then I found out it isn't. There are far more variables than we can imagine. The best path forward is a cure. Make your donation. Let's be part of this together.
