The team and crew are all made of volunteers willing to give up their own time to support the event, myself and the other runners.
The Team
Owain Thomas - I'm currently serving in the Royal Navy, I created the event. I'm a little crazy when it comes to running as I'm a lover of the long distance. I will be running all 7 days of the event. A long time friend of Phil and his little family, and this is the only way I could think of making a little difference.
Cathy Thomas - My wife, Team support crew and photographer. As well as doing it because she is married to me, the crazy man who created the event, she is a friend of Phil's and can't think of any better reason not to support this amazing event.
Amanda Wankowski - Team Sports Masseuse
Les Whitfield - Team Medic
Donna Darby - Public Relations
"Well, what can I say?! I don’t run for a running club, I have never even ran for the bus, let alone half marathon!..............but I have a heart and I do care! I care about my family and my friends, and if by pledging to run one ultra leg with Owain; it can help to achieve more awareness and fundraising then count this crazy soul in! I personally know Phil, Vix and Baby Z – So I am running my leg especially for them – being a mum/wife and having a family of my own, their diagnosis and heart breaking journey has and will motivate me through-out. A little more details? My day job - I’m a manager at a local Cornish Charity, so I will also be supporting Owain with PR and social networking. What do I enjoy? – Honestly, I love spending time with my son and hubby Steve, I go to the gym, enjoy playing rugby and of course going to the pub. Who doesn’t enjoy a drink? Or two?. In short I’m your average full time working mum, who enjoys keeping fit, drinking wine and dancing round my handbag! Completing just one leg of the ultra with Owain will be an achievement for me, my own mini challenge of a life time! And who knows maybe this will inspire me to ‘run forest run’ some more!"
