The list

Here is the ever growing list of all of the things that I want to do on my journey to completing my overall challenge.

Each of the things on this list will go towards the big fundraiser which is number one on my list, the 50k for 50 years challenge! As you'd expect, the common theme here is 50 and whilst some of them are big and some are small, everything is another tick on the list to hit the big five-o.

I would also like to say a big thank you to my friends and family who have volunteered to help me achieve some of these goals!!

Start date: February 11th 2017.

End date: April 12th 2021.
