James Montgomery of Canterbury, Kent is looking to get his running shoes back on for a charity challenge of 1000km in 2010. Having come back to running as a hobby from a break since 2005, the distance does indeed seem a challenge and comprises some great events including the London and Loch Ness Marathons.
The fundraising is for the Stella Rogers appeal (Charity Registration No. 1113954), who at just 17 
months, was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as Neuroblastoma MYC-N amplified (high risk). An expensive antibody therapy only available in the USA, costing a massive £250,000 upwards, could increase her chances of survival to 80%.
To keep track of distances run James is using the free GPS mobile app SportyPal.com, giving feedback on running times, distance, vertical climb and route maps.
To sponsor James you can visit his Just Giving page here and for more information of the Stella Appeal, please visit the website here.
