Report by Don Hale

Conwy endurance runner, Josie Davies finally completed her gruelling virtual Everest 135-mile ‘Ultra-Everest’ challenge, and trebled her fundraising target for St David's Hospice.

A delighted Josie said: ‘I just can’t thank everybody enough for all the generosity and overwhelming support I have received whilst completing this challenge to raise funds for St David’s Hospice. 

‘As I completed the 135-miles quicker than expected, I decided to continue and see how many miles I could actually do in the time given, and finally ran 200.52 miles.

‘I seriously couldn’t have done this without the support of everyone, your generous donations, the company of my special friend Gwenan Carter on some of my long runs, and my little boy Jordan, who also did his bit in keeping me company whilst chatting about Dinosaurs.

‘And not forgetting Rhian Roxburgh, and Tri-Rox training, for your expertise and continuous encouragement and support in coaching me.’

Josie was later awarded the ‘Limited Edition’ Ultra-Everest 135 medal, and explained that to date she has raised over £600 for the Hospice, which trebled her initial fundraising target. https://stdavidshospice.org.uk/.../josies-everest-135.../
