Marathon Walk in under 10 hours

Gary Owen is raising money for Womb Transplant UK

My story

I am 66 years old I intend to walk 26.2 miles or more in 10 hours or under in one day.
I am raising money for this charity because my granddaughter suffers from a condition called MRKH which affects 1 in 5000 women.
This is a condition where these women are born with no womb or only a partially formed womb.
This has a serious on their mental wellbeing, with prospect of not being able to have a child of their own.
This charity is doing research into perfecting the procedure to unable these women the chance of having a child of their own.

My updates

I did the charity walk today, I started out at 06:00 and walked form my house Rickmansworth via the Grand Union canal and back, I completed 27.77 miles over my target of 26.2 miles. I completed it in 8 hours 15 minutes (see photo below), unfortunately my phone battery died 1.46miles from home so the recording app stopped at 26.31 miles and 7 hours 40 minutes, just as I was along side Stockley Park on the towpath. I also stopped for a break just over halfway for a sandwich and a drink at 10:23 for 25 minutes, so my actual time away from home was 8 hours 40 minutes but just 8 hours 15 minutes of that was walking time.
