The day before the event, Michael wrote:

Tomorrow's the day of the Thames Path Challenge … The photo is me at the start area this evening, it'll be a whole lot busier tomorrow. If all goes to plan I'll be with 299 other people in the 8am start group.

Then, on the day of finishing the event, Michael wrote:

Delighted to say that a bit after 6am I crossed the finishing line of the Thames Path Challenge. Took me just over 22 hours to complete it through sunshine, showers, thunder, and heavy mist along the river over night. I am so appreciative of all the support. which really helped to carry me through the night. Thank you.

So far he has raised over £2,000, which will be going towards families linked to the Downs Benefice.

Well done Michael for completing the whopping 100km in the Thames Path Challenge! It is a serious feat of endurance and compassion.
