The Ramblings of a Crazy Fridgeman Day 38 When I set out on this challenge I genuinely had no idea how far I would get. As with all my other challenges I wanted to attempt something so difficult that nobody could be certain of its outcome. All I could do was prepare myself physically and mentally for the toughest journey of my life. And as the messages flood in from well-wishers and the media all asking how does it feel or how do I expect to feel when I reach Lands’ End my overriding feeling is that I feel humbled to have received so much support and generosity from the British public. As an adventurer and an Ultra Runner I have learnt that where I finish is only an outcome! Even though I have given every ounce of energy I have had and reached for this goal with every sinew in my body, victory is merely an outcome it does not make me a better person than if I failed! All that ever mattered to me was that I gave it my all. And if I failed whilst daring greatly, so long as I had gave all I had to give I would have been satisfied with the outcome and never lost moments sleep over it. You see I have the most fantastic wife and kids a man could wish for and as long as they are proud of my efforts everything else is just fluff and nonsense. I love what I do because I love why I do it. I am so very proud that my adventure has gave hope to people fighting cancer and inspired some of you to try a do a little more for your causes. I have gave it everything to get this far and it is by far the toughest thing I have yet to attempt. But as time passes and I reflect upon this outcome I know exactly what I will feel and that is that I could never have got here without the help of thousands of messages and hundreds of people that physically helped me along the way and If I do get to Lands’ End there will be only one thing I will say and that is……….. WE DID IT!!
