Simon Teagle - If you plan to climb everest do it sooner rather than later
Simon has been in and out of running his whole life. He was always the kid who got bored walking so ran instead, if that’s from the bus to home after school, to competing in track and cross country.Then in 2019 Simon was diagnosed with Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, a condition that his mother has also lived with for 40 years, and since then he has leaned into words that she received during her diagnosis – ‘if you planned to climb Everest, do it sooner rather than later’. Simon has used this sentence and his diagnosis as inspiration to challenge the norm against MS. He now runs to raise money and awareness for MS, completing numerous marathons, 50k’s and the 100k Jurassic Coast, with his eyes now set on an event of his own... the Cornish Coastal Path, 480km, 18000m vert, 7 days, 7 ultras, 7 teams and Simon himself.Find out more about this amazing challege by joining us through the buttons above.Support Simon by clicking herehttps://www.justgiving.com/page/simon-teagle-cornish-coast-challenge FitBitesGet fit in 2024 with the help of the Deliciously FitBites Granola with 15% Protein.
