Oscar Herbert's 50-mile running challenge for his severely disabled Big Bro Lewis' 21st birthday
and live on Freeview channel 276
Lewis is severely disabled (Condition: Lennox Gastaut Syndrome) and requires 24hour 2:1 care. He cannot walk or talk and is totally wheelchair dependent.
He has set himself a challenge of running 50 miles between the 1st Oct till the 12th Nov (Lewis' birthday). He came up with the idea all by himself to try and help raise some money for disability specific items for his brother Lewis which aren't available on the NHS and/or through statutory services.

The challenge is not going to be easy for him to fit in as he does so much sport as well, football, rugby, cricket, so it will have to include some really early morning runs before School as well as some late night runs after football or rugby practice etc.
