EPIC CHALLENGE: Former Rickmansworth student is running 200 marathons in 200 days

An inspirational woman is approaching the final stages in an epic 200 marathons in 200 days challenge.

Megan Boxall is set to complete the breathtaking feat of endurance on May 6, having started in October last year.

The former Royal Masonic School for Girls (RMS) pupil is running the entire coastline of Great Britain, covering more than 5,000 miles. She is on track to become the fastest woman ever to run the route.

Megan said: “The background of doing this stems from when I was 10-years-old at RMS.

“My uncle (Tom Isaacs) walked around the coast of Britain having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It’s been in the back of my mind as something I have wanted to do ever since.”

By the time Megan finishes her loop at Sizewell Beach, she will have run about 5,240 miles, keeping the sea on her left-hand side for the entire journey.

She has been joined along the way by her faithful dog Shadow and a community of supporters that has grown to over 3,500 followers online.

Megan is raising money for the Samaritans. To donate, visit her website at www.meganboxall.com
