Our amazing Judy Woolfenden – MDS patient extraordinaire – has set a new record in taking part in a the Cotswold 100mile Ultra Marathon: “First pushed wheelchair athlete”. This may even be the first time someone has been pushed for such a distance.
Weather was absolutely awful – but Judy and her team of pushers persisted and finished 31st out of 35 – which is an amazing achievement, considering that 80 runners started – but less than half of them crossed the finishing line! Judy and team completed it in 29 hours 5 min. http://www.ultrarace.co.uk/
Part of the funds Judy raises through her activities goes to MDS UK – for which we are very grateful. Thank you and all your team.
If you wish to contact Judy, please get in touch with us.
