Hi there to everyone Crazy reporting for duty.

I’ve been given the privilege of blogging for our last few days which quite simply have been the best days we have had on our journey so far. The Grand Canyon is without doubt the most amazing thing I have ever seen, there aren’t really any words that could describe its sheer magnitude, It surrounds you from every angle and engulfs you with its beauty. To the people of Tuyasan who gave us the Helicopter ride over the Canyon we can’t thank you enough, everyone has agreed it has been the highlight of their trip so far, also special thanks to Shawn Shields for the range day and the chance to experience and fire some exotic foreign weapons. In terms of running our darkest days are behind us, the 80+ mile days are over and only 60 to 70 mile days remain which is great news for me and the other runners. To be quite honest with you we are all injured in some way or another running at altitude hasn’t been the most pleasant and the running days are merging into one, 5 miles feels like 10, 10 miles feel like 20 and so on. However spirit, humour and determination remain high, as I said in a previous blog the pain of running 3530 miles is a blessing and privilege compared to the everyday lives of the people we are trying to help, I never forget that.

Special thanks and praise to Marine Jamie Jobson for completing 60 miles on the hand bike, a discipline prior to this event he had no training on, good effort Royal!. All that remains to be said is ‘Watch this Space’ Las Vegas is on the horizon and quite frankly I can’t wait, I can almost see those bright lights shining and hear Tom Jones calling. Spread the word and keep on GUMPING!!!!!!!!!

All the best Cpl Fenner aka ‘Crazy’
