David’s ultimate challenge - 30 marathons in 30 days
Posted by LimbPowerAdmin on Monday 8th July 2019
This month three times HBSA Disabled Sportsperson of the Year David Williamson will be attempting his most ambitious challenge yet - an incredible 30 marathons in 30 days!
Portsmouth-based David (40) who works for car finance company Moneybarn, had both legs amputated through the knee when he was a few months old, having been born without tibia bones. As well as pushing marathons and being a five-time participant in the Great South Run David has completed a 24-hour wheelchair push and played over 300 games for South Hants Sitting Volleyball.
In 2016 he was the recipient of the 2016 #wecandoit Personal Achievement Award.
Between 13th June and 13th July (at venues across the South of England) David will be taking on his most physical and mental test to-date fundraising for three fantastic causes:
All funds raised from the 30 in 30 challenge will be split equally between the three recipients.
LimbPower are hugely grateful to Greenwich Leisure Ltd who have been instrumental in providing venues for this challenge.
“As a chartable social enterprise, GLL are extremely passionate about removing barriers to participation in physical and social activity to make taking part more inclusive and accessible whatever a person’s circumstances.
“David’s ‘30 in 30’ challenge is inspirational, and we are proud to play our part to support his attempt which shines a welcome spotlight on disability sport. “ Steve Hannen, GLL Head of Service, Major Venues and Legacy Region.
