Introduction

Hi, I’m Matthew Kendall and I am currently a student at Hyde Clarendon Sixth Form. I am looking to raise money to help me complete my Duke of Edinburgh Award and to give money to an organisation called Community First Responders. To raise the money I am going to be running the Coniston 14 mile race around Coniston Water on the 29th of March and doing the Three Peaks Challenge which involves climbing the 3 highest peaks in the UK in under 24 hours on the 12th of April.  My blog is going to include a weekly update about what I will be been doing in preparation for the Coniston 14, all the info you need to know about the race and some interesting things that I will be getting up to along the way. I hope you all enjoy reading it!
