Living with a visual impairment and a hip replacement, Andrew, (owner of The Running Bug), is taking on Stand Up To Cancer’s 10 Days of 5k Challenge this October.
Andrew will be running, walking and jogging a total of 50km throughout the month to raise money for life-saving cancer research.
You can get involved by either donating on Andrew’s giving page or you can also sign up for The Running Bug’s version of the 10 Days of 5k Challenge. All profits from entry fees from this virtual race will be donated to Andrew’s giving page at the end of the challenge.
