We’d like to introduce you to our Superhero supporter and fundraiser, Phillipa Page!

Phillipa has been doing different fundraising events to raise money for us on the lead up to her big event, the 100 Mile Run - yes that’s running 100 miles (4 marathons in 4 days).

She’s even gone to the extent, that on her 40th birthday, instead of getting presents, she asked people to donate to help support our families – yes, it’s an understatement to say she’s awesome! 👊🏼

If you’re from Gloucester and you’d like to meet Phillipa, she has arranged a coffee and cake afternoon between 2-4pm this Saturday at Apperley Village Hall, and it would be amazing if you’d like to go along.

All information in the images below, and who can resist cake?!🍰

(And if nothing else, if you’d like to throw a few quid on her fundraising page as a donation, we’d hugely appreciate it: uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=PhillipaPage&pageUrl=2) ...

We're really excited about this auction on Thursday! We just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who has donated, it really means a lot.

If you're around on Thursday, why don't you come along? It'll definitely be a fun night! 😃Organising our Auction of Promises in aid of the Superhero Foundation became reality when the Jurys Inn Cheltenham kindly donated the venue for the evening. A massive thank you to them, helping us raise money for a great cause #superheroauction www.glos.info/auction-superhero-foundation/ ...

Do you run a business? Would you like to support my upcoming Guinness World Record with a big donation that will give your company some huge visibility over the week-long challenge?

From 29th April - 6th May (less than In 10 days time!), I’ll be attempting one of the toughest Guinness World Records on the planet, trying to run more than 517 miles on a treadmill (aka dreadmill!) over 7 days. That's 3 marathons a day, at least.

I'm fresh back in Gloucester, England, after finishing a 5,500 mile (210 marathon!) run across the US, ending in Gloucester, Massachusetts, raising more than $200,000 for sick kids to date.

We’re looking for one big headline sponsor at £5,000 - who'll get the most prominent placement on the backdrop. We're looking for at least five more sponsors at £2,000 each. It's going to be first come, first served in terms of placement.

As well as the fact that we'll be live-streaming every second of the record to social media, which should have an enormous reach, we’ve already been covered by Good Morning Britain (TWICE!), BBC News, ITV News, Sky News, and many other big national outlets, and it's looking likely they will be covering the record throughout - so it’s a great chance for businesses to reach millions, all for one very kind donation.

We don’t think it’s much to ask for, especially knowing that your donation will make a big difference in helping to support the fundraising for sick kids lives.

Oh and if you do donate as part of either, as I say, I will be asking you to come down to the record to join me on the spare treadmill for a picture and a few miles of running 😊. I need company, you know!

*** If you are interested, please direct message or email contact@jamiemcdonald.org telling our Lady V (or Victoria), and we'll talk next steps ***

And for everybody else, keep smashing life - the good, the bad and even the painful, ugly steps too.

Anyway, I better get training - wish me luck! ...

There’s nothing like your Mum’s roast dinner to fuel up before one of the most challenging endurance world records on the planet.

As I walked through the door to see my Mum, I was like, “hey Mum!”

My Mum’s first response (and bare in mind it’s been over 18 months since I’ve seen her), “where’s Anna?” She said.

And then she put her head back down to continue to peel the spuds in a military fashion.

So I said, “come on Mum, it’s time to hug your boy!”

We hugged and it was AMAZING.

Sometimes my Mum doesn’t outwardly show her emotions, I think she puts all her energy into the food she cooks, and thats her way of showing love, either that or she’s just used to me swanning off for years at a time 😂❤️

It was lovely to see my brother Lee, his girlfriend Chantel and our foster brothers, too.

(Just to keep you updated, we’re looking good on having enough volunteers for the challenge. It’s two weeks tomorrow until I begin the world record event at Gloucester Docks, attempting to beat 517 miles in 7 days on the treadmill aka dreadmill 😂) ...

📢 Do you live in/around Gloucester (in the UK!)? HELP NEEDED! 📢

As some of you might know, I’ll be attempting to break the world record in just three weeks for the greatest distance covered on a treadmill within 7 days!!! And I need lots of help…

I know that I’ve asked for your help a lot over the past year and I can’t thank you all enough, but this is a big one - I need lots of volunteers to ‘witness’ me doing my world record.

As a witness, you’ll be the ones confirming that I’m doing all the miles and breaking the World Record.

(Note: the treadmill will be counting the miles and it will be professionally filmed 24/7 from all sorts of angles AND we’ll live stream it for you too but you’re still needed to be there - I know, so many rules 😂)

We’ll need two people on each 4 hour shift - and it can't be a family member or somebody directly related to the charity.

When: From 1pm, Monday 29th April 2019 - 1pm, Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 2019

Where: Pillar and Lucy Square, Merchants’ Road, Gloucester Quays

Current record: The greatest distance run on a treadmill in one week is 513.97 miles. That's more than 73 miles a day for seven days to even equal the current record. The equivalent of three marathons a day for a week

Across the week, we have 42 shifts we need to fill (well, 84 if you count the fact we need two people at any given time). You can do more than one 4 hour shift, but not back-to-back.

I know it’s a big ask but I’ll be SO grateful if you could help out, or just share this post so that others could see it and they might want to help.

If you’d like to volunteer, please do email contact@jamiemcdonald.org telling her our Lady V (or Victoria) your availability and hopefully we’ll get you sorted in our shift rota.

Tag friends and family you think might like to do that - the more the merrier (I think I’m gonna need every bit of support I can get to help me through the pain 😂), but it will be first-come-first-served if it gets a bit crazy!

If you can’t do a shift but would like to support still, please do feel free to come along and keep me company 😊. We'll have a spare treadmill beside me and I'd love to have people run beside me to keep me company - on which note, businesses, watch this space, I've had an idea that could cause donations to rocket! More on that in a couple of days.

For now, it’s time to train and hurt this treadmill in front of me. HURT IT I TELL YA! 😂 ...
