Helen here taking over Ryan's account.... WOW!! I cannot thank you guys enough for your support through sponsorship, encouragement and words of wisdom. We signed ourselves up for this challenge over 18 months ago and the original event couldn't take place. Despite this, my friend and I continued with our training through all weathers and various personal, physical and mental health obstacles. Every single email notifying me of a donation made me more determined to not only complete this challenge, but to attempt to do so in under 6 hours. We trained religiously to meet this target and honour your generous donations and in doing so trained through sun, rain, gale force winds, snow and weather that was so cold our hair actually froze stiff! Regardless of the unpredictable coastal weather we totally loved our training, our (socially distanced) time together, sharing our woes and nourishing a 20 year friendship. We regularly logged our training and knew we were fairly fast. We needed to average under 13min 30sec miles to beat 6h and we knew we could do this for 16 miles in fair weather... we were unsure of the next 10.2 Yesterday was awful, dreary, wet, miserable and blustery. We regularly chatted along the way about why we were doing it and this was a constant boost in motivation. Despite feeling like a Rich Tea biscuit having been dunked in tea for too long, we battled on. Ryan and Rich were incredible support and were there at various milestones with vital supplies and heaps of moral support. They were absolute diamonds! The last 4 miles were the toughest but the email notifications kept pinging! This spurred us on and even though our legs felt like they were controlled by a puppet master we powered on through the rain to achieve a 5h 50min finishing time! I honestly believe that this would not have been possible without the incredible support from this forum. You are such a wonderful, generous, kind and supportive network and I am immensely grateful. Between us we have raised over £1.6k for incredible Breast Cancer charities and you have been absolutely pivotal in that! You wonderful wonderful people! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Congratulations, well done and thank you to both of you for your Stirling efforts. Such a pity the weather threw such rotten conditions at you both, but like true heroes, you completed your task.
