Hi Kevin,

Guess you won’t see this for a while but I have been using Trackleaders to follow your progress. I hope all is ok as that suggests you were still heading along the Dempster Highway instead of in to Fort McPherson.

Or was that a requirement to get the mileage in before reaching Fort McPherson?

All the best

Dave

Hi Kev,

Thanks for the email and the news of your remarkable achievement at the 6633. It was only when I actually looked up what 120+ meant a couple of days ago that I realised that you had intended to go the full 380!! You shouldn’t even be thinking that you may have let anyone down. I’m in tears here just at the thought of you feeling that way...it’s the hormones 😀😀

All the best and take care

Dave

Thanks for all of your kind words, so for my next trick, I am off to the Sahara tomorrow to run in the Marathon Des Sables, 250k self sufficient for a week. It will be 50c at times in the sun, over 40c in the shade.

Three years ago I never thought I would run again and now I am competing in this race for a third time.

If you want to follow my tracker or send me messages then you can once the race starts Sunday morning my name is Kevin webber, race number 658 www.live.marathondessables.com/waatracking/en-us/mds2018

I hope that it will encourage you all to chase your dreams no matter what.

Thanks

Kev

All the very best Kev. I still don’t know how you do it. 30 yrs mostly manual labour has ensured I can’t even run at 51 anymore. I even struggle to kneel fully at the care home I work at. I don’t fully understand it having been a gym bunny for 20 yrs at least. I was a marine engineer officer for 7 yrs. I remember 40 C average for six months in the engine room , 60C if at the top of the boilers — you couldn’t pick a spanner up even.
I can’t even believe you are doing what you do Kev. Keep it up.

So, Kev the "NutteRunner" is off again?

Blimey.

I don't know how you do it?

I don't know where you get the strength?

I don't know how you brain it?

+ FFS, I don't care. Just keep at it, just keep doing it.

You are an (not quite) ordinary bloke doing ydoolb extraordinary things. Respect. And a smattering of AWE!! Or WHY!! :-)

I'll be watching and monitoring you to make sure you don't slack! Get it done.

Hi all, thanks for your kind words. Well I finished the MDS for a third consecutive year. I don't think anyone with any T4 cancer has done that before. Loved every second, hope that others go for it whatever their own personal "it" is. Even the bad days are a gift and it would be wrong to not make the most of any gift received.

I have also raised over £20k for Pcuk this time around so thanks to all who support this great charity.

Sadly I did not get a place at Sunday's London marathon but I will be at mile 13 to cheer on all those with a Pcuk vest on the charity cheering station as money raised will stop families like all of ours not having to go through what ours are in years to come.

Kev

Ps, I have more races planned for 2018, never give up! Www.makethemostof.it
