The St John’s Hospice ‘100km in September’ challenge saw more than 100 people challenge themselves and raise money for the charity.

Challengers could run, walk, cycle or swim the challenge - however they wanted to cover the 100km in 30 days.

Ian Muirhead took on the challenge by completing all 100km on a ski-erg machine, which is similar to an upright rowing machine.

He completed the whole distance in one day - taking almost 11 hours to complete - and raised more than £700.

Ian said: “I always like to challenge myself physically, and have been thinking of doing something like this for a while. We recently lost my step-dad Bob, who volunteered at the hospice shops warehouse for many years.

"When I saw the 100km challenge advertised it seemed like the perfect way to push myself out of my comfort zone whilst raising money for a great cause in his memory.”

In total, the challengers have raised more than £14,000, with sponsorship money still coming in.

Lauren Akrigg, who organised the challenge, said: “I’m so proud of everyone who took part, they have all done so well. Everyone really pushed themselves to complete this challenge, and some continued to complete 200km!

"It’s been heart-warming to see everyone supporting each other in the Facebook group, and we’ve got a great community going there. The money raised is absolutely amazing and there’s still more coming in every day!”
