MS Warrior Conquers Britain's Coastline
31 Aug
Summary
- She ran 5,240 miles to cover Britain's coastline.
- She completed 200 marathons over 204 days.
- She raised over £72,000 for Samaritans.
Megan Boxall, a 33-year-old financial journalist, has set a remarkable record by becoming the fastest woman to run the entire coastline of Britain. This incredible achievement involved completing 200 marathons over a period of 204 days, covering an impressive distance of 5,240 miles (8,433km). Boxall's journey was particularly inspiring as she accomplished this feat after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Her motivation stemmed from a childhood admiration for her uncle's coastal walk. The challenge was undertaken to raise vital funds for the Samaritans, successfully generating over £72,000. Boxall crossed her final finish line in Sizewell, accompanied by her dog Shadow, to widespread applause, concluding an epic and personal mission.
