Ben is taking on an Ultra Marathon in memory of his nephew who died of an acute and severe asthma attack when he was 10 years old.
Ben has also suffered with asthma for most of his life which makes this undertaking all the more challenging and significant.
As it approaches Isaac’s 18th birthday, Ben wanted to mark this in a special way so decided to tackle the TEC Snowdonia Spring Crossing on Saturday, 25 March 2023, with the hopes of raising at least £3,000 for Once Upon a Smile! This is the UK’s hardest mountain ultra-marathon of the year, with a distance of 56 KM and a total elevation of 3556 Meters.
Ben has been on an 8-month training programme and is taking on this incredible but difficult challenge on Saturday 25th March, with the aim to complete the challenge in around 10 hours.
