I have been fortunate enough to be sponsored by the headwear company Buff. Finally this last week I got a parcel from the US, with all my personalized Running Beaver buffs (please check out the photo,) I think they are awesome. I have already tested them out on a few training session, they are so versatile and work brilliantly.  

Training this week has been long and hard. It has included lots of swimming, 3 hours of cycling and 8 hours of running.  However, my mind as been focused on this past weekend as was very family orientated and sad due to it been my cousin Blake’s funeral. Blake is my main drive behind attempting the Arch to Arc as he went missing 4 years ago. (For more information please read his story www.blakehartley.com.) I hope to raise a lot of awareness and funds for missing people during this whole experience as it really has been a triadic few years for all our family.  Next week to the Brecon Beacons………
