Welcome to the Ultrarunner Magazine Podcast, thanks for joining us.  Today we’re catching up with Lorna Mae Hellam of Hartfell Hill Running Club, aged 24, from Dumfries, who has just completed a challenge of completing the height of Mount Everest at 8849m every month of 2022 in memory of her beloved uncle. 

What makes the challenge even more incredible is that Lorna just completed her December Everesting in less than 24 hours covering 63 miles and has now raised over £2600 for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation… https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lorna-hellam-everest12

Lorna shares the difficulties during the challenge, the mindset to continue and how it felt to have the support of her friends and family.  Special thank you to Lorna for sharing her story and Norman Neilson for arranging.
