100 Miles. 30 Hours. A Challenge Worth Every Step for Paul.

What drives someone to run 100 miles in just 30 hours? For Paul, it’s not just a test of endurance—it’s a way to make a difference. Paul began running as a personal challenge to improve his health, but it quickly became something bigger. During the pandemic, while his wife was working on the frontlines in an emergency department and his son was serving in the London Fire Brigade, Paul wanted to show his support and pride. He decided to run a marathon around his own driveway—proving that even in isolation, endurance and resilience could prevail. Since then, Paul has pushed his limits, completing five 50K ultramarathons, a 50-mile run to mark his 50th birthday, and an astonishing 80-mile run in just 24 hours. Now, he’s taking on his biggest challenge yet: 100 miles in 30 hours. This time, Paul is running for something greater – a young woman called Amy, diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at just 20 years old. Her story, and the daily struggles faced by her and her family, moved Paul deeply. He knew he wanted to use his miles to make a difference. Paul is taking on the Centurion Running challenge to raise funds for Oncogene Cancer Research, a charity dedicated to accelerating research to extend the lives of those diagnosed with oncogene-driven lung cancers, like Amy. 100 miles is an extraordinary feat, but Paul believes it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced by those living with lung cancer. Every step he takes is in honour of people like Amy, turning endurance into hope and determination into action. Will you support Paul in his 100-mile mission? You support is more than a donation, it’s an investment in a future without oncogene lung cancers. Donate now to help turn Paul’s challenge into life-changing research.
