Hi I'm Andy Knight and this is my blog about a crazy year long challenge I have set myself.
By doing a different endurance challenge each month I hope to raise awareness and money for Springboard Opportunity Group who do
great work with disabled children and provide amazing support for their families.

No turning back now!

So here it is the big one, the challenge within the challenge, 6 marathons in 6 days!

There's nothing left for me to do now but put on my kit and trainers and hit the road. So at around 8am tomorrow (Tuesday) that's exactly what I'll be doing.

Today has been a restful day just packing up the stuff I'm going to need for the next few days and realising that my shoulders will probably hurt just as much as my legs due to the weight of the rucksack!

I've had some great coverage of the challenge and for Springboard Opportunity Group over the last couple of days with a great article in the Southend Echo and then yesterday being interviewed on Southend Radio.

All of this has helped to raise nearly £1,600 so far and it would be great to reach the big £2k by Sunday the 6th Marathon.

The weather is looking good for this week especially on Sunday for the Shakespeare marathon where I will have the company of 3600 other runners.

Well that's it for now but you can follow me on twitter @andydknight for regular updates each day, but I plan to update the blog daily.

Finally, well done everyone who took part in the London Marathon yesterday especially Simon Blewett, Amy Smith and Eva's dad Russ Hodges!
