FiMac Flies Again! Great South Run for codebar

My story

I’m participating in the Great South Run for codebar Brighton to support diversity in tech. I'm a kickboxer first and foremost, but running is my second sport and I enjoy it the most when it is for a good cause. For those unfamiliar with codebar's work, they help people who are underrepresented in tech to learn how to code. 

Your support will help to drive change and promote inclusivity in the tech industry. Thank you for backing this important cause. #codebar #codebarBrighton


Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Codebar.

Guess what? 
I will not be beaten by the weather, so having checked the terms and conditions, I can still complete the run myself even though it was cancelled. 

So, I am running on my own tomorrow from West Pier in Brighton to Worthing Pier, which is 10.1 miles. I will post an update here when I set off tomorrow and then report back at the end. 

I hope you are still okay with sponsoring (if not, let me know). I will still run the heck out of this run, although there will be occasional stops for traffic. 

To up the ante, I will be wearing my robot costume (for those who know about this, no, I will not be going through 3 hours of make-up this time first!).

Hi All,

You may have seen the news that the Great South Run was cancelled due to the storm conditions in Portsmouth today. I have checked with the charity organisers and they are going to find out what the options are. I'll come back with an update here when I know more.

Thank you again for your amazing generosity. I am really gutted that I didn't get to run today after 12 weeks of training. I also know how much codebar needs support, so hopefully we will find a way to continue the fundraising efforts.

I agree with the race organisers' decision. It is important that runs are both fun and safe. In this weather the support services and infrastructure (e.g., finish line structure, medical and volunteer tents!) would have been at risk with high speed winds.

I'll let you know more when I have an update.

Thank you so much for your amazing generousity and your support of my social media post. I am delighted that together we have surpassed my original £300. goal, so the more the merrier. I am currently achieving about 12 km p/h on flat-ish routes, so hope for about 1.5 hrs for the 10-mile route. We'll see!

I have included the sock video from my recent -very-wet-run- for a laugh!
