Nick Betts Runs 10 Marathons in 10 Days
We caught up with Nick Betts, who took on the incredible challenge of running 10 marathons in 10 days to fundraise for Mind BLMK!
Why did you choose to run for Mind BLMK?
About eight months ago I heard on the radio the shocking figures around mental health and suicide. I felt I wanted to do something to help those who feel they can’t get up on a morning or who are battling struggles. Mind BLMK offers services to support those when they need it most.
What were your highlights of Project 10?
The highlights were meeting new people that I now consider as friends and getting to the finish line with many people waiting to cheer me on.
What was the most challenging part of the run?
Getting up on the cold icy mornings knowing that I had to complete 26.2 miles and running with the injury to the achilles that was getting worse everyday.
What kept you going?
10 marathons complete in 10 days!
Total Time 45 hours 30 Minutes!
Steps 535,923!
£4,749 raised so far!
A huge thank you to Nick Betts for undertaking this amazing challenge and to all of his supporters. The money raised goes to supporting our mental health and wellbeing services across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes.
