DAN VS PANAMA
From Covid and my couch to running from coast to coast across Panama
Home: Welcome
THANKS FOR READING MY BLOG
This is the story of how I woke up one day and decided I wanted to run from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast of Panama to raise money for Charity.
I’ve spent a year training for the hardest physical and emotional challenge of my life. The blogs are below (start at the bottom) and I will try and write a new one regularly, mostly to keep me busy and out of trouble. They are an honest record of this journey ranging from buying my first snake protection for my ankles to my first marathon and everything in between.
Please subscribe at the bottom of the page to keep up to date. If you want to donate or find out more about why I’m doing this here is my Just Giving Page:
