Former British soldier in Kosovo seeks to make history, will run back 5 marathons for 5 days

The innovative charity is enjoying the challenge of running five exhausting marathons in five days next month, all in reverse.

Ferndal, a former soldier, will land in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin in October to meet the formidable challenge.

He is taking on the task of collecting money for social - seeking organizations that both use the sport to inspire social changes in young people and to give them opportunities that many of us took for granted when we were growing up.

Ferndal, who begins the challenge in Dublin on October 9th before ending up doing amazing things in London on October 13th, said: “I've always found things that people find light, difficult, and some things that people find impossible, easy to do so anyway, life has always been a little different. To me, being part of what I like with new people has done to me just like I'm leadership in military, sports and doing crazy things. Doing things you've never done before will change you as a person. You never know where it will lead to your life, but trust me, it will lead you to good places”

And then I realized that we could do something creative with this. I've met some amazing people and I've had some amazing experiences that I think all the philosophy of the challenge should be to do things differently, running the opposite three times more energy than normal running, so it'll be a challenge. But I don't really like things that have to do with me this should be for the benefit of charity”, he added.
