Ben's running 77.25km in 48hours to raise funds for Firefly Children's Home
Auckland
My names Ben and on March 6th at 5pm I will run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours (David Goggins 4x4x48 challenge) when I finish 48 hours later I will have run a total of 77.25Km, on little to no sleep, even as I write this I am extremely daunted by the thought, especially considering 6 months ago I couldn't even run a 1km without stopping and collapsing on the ground
but, its for an extremely good cause......
Firefly Children’s Home (FCH) is a registered charitable trust (CC30432) based in Kathmandu, Nepal. working in partnership with PA Nepal founder Indira Ranamagar.
FCH cares for Nepalese village children whose parents have either passed away, disappeared, are imprisoned or are too poor to feed them. There are a hundred Firefly children who live in either our central Kathmandu home or our rural home in East Kathmandu.
In a country where there is no social security and the political situation is highly controversial, FCH provides a unique opportunity for abandoned children and orphans to be educated, loved and cared for in a traditional environment. We believe education is the key to a brighter future. We want to see these children go out and make a difference in the world – the world that is giving them a chance today.

So please give a little or a lot, I love the fact the 100% of donations that Firefly get go directly to the children!
I will keep you updated on my training and anxiety as we get closer to March the 6th
