CHARITY FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE
12 ULTRAMARATHONS in 12 DAYS for TESTICULAR CANCER
Hello, I’m Lindsey Maunder and live in Mill Road, Honington. Some of you may be aware that our son, Charlie, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in May 2023. Following 12 weeks of chemotherapy and 2 intensive operations, he is thankfully now in remission, and is embarking on a remarkable fundraising mission.
On Wednesday 11 June he began the first of 12 ultramarathons, from Edinburgh to London in 12 days. Running a distance of over 700km, he is raising money for the OddBalls Foundation, the UK's leading testicular cancer charity.
OddBall's do fantastic work to raise awareness for the most prevalent form of cancer, with 2,400 new cases every year. With early detection, it also is one of the most curable forms of cancer, making its awareness vital.

HE'S DONE IT! 12 ULTRAMARATHONS IN 12 DAYS INCREDIBLE .. Start of day 12 at Tottenham Hale tube station. And the end of the journey at the pub, The Builders Arms, West London. (Charlie in the blue/black robe) |
|
Start of day 11 at Cockayne Hatley near Biggleswade. Uni friends have joined as reinforcements for day. Ankles really bad. |
|
So 9 ultramarathons in 9 days down - he’s got a dodgy knee and a blister that took us to Rotherham Minor Injuries Unit to get it checked out but it’s Friday 20 June, day 10 and only 3 more ultramarathons to go.
|

Here he is yesterday, beginning of day 9 setting off from the Chequers Inn,Woolsthorpe near magnificent Belvoir Castle near Grantham. Uni mates Ed and Issy joining him for the day … so hot. And also pictured the lunch spot - it’s difficult finding enough shade!!! |
A huge undertaking, we're incredibly proud of Charlie. If you're able, we'd be so grateful if you would be willing to support his journey, either through donations, or following his progress.
