Can’t believe it’s 6 weeks since this crazy pair completed their epic challenge. Thank you so much to everyone for your terrific support. Look out in 2022 for the next Pullinger challenge!! 💙🧡

And this is what it has all been about, their dads ❤️ I think we can safely say they have been raising awareness of these terrible diseases all week and no one could be prouder than their dads, mums and all their families and friends. There are too many people to thank but special thanks have to go to Alex and Sam who have been with them every step of the way, it was very comforting to us to know that they were with them through it all ❤️ To everyone else a HUGE THANK YOU 🙏 The boys have absolutely smashed it and it is something none of us will ever forget ❤️ they are the new superheroes 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♂️ Thank you for to everybody who has donated to the very important work of these two amazing charities, it’s not too late to donate a few pennies ❤️❤️ 💙🧡 https://jp-fightback-fund.muchloved.com/fundraising/events/590113798 https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/matts7in7

Absolutely incredible, Marathon No. 2 finished. 4 hours 29 minutes they are absolutely smashing it 🤩🤩🤩❤️💙🧡

What a great start to 7 in 7 marathon week. Interview with Radio One Newsbeat, report of the days events on BBC Look East and a shout out from Zoe Ball on Radio Two, great opportunities for raising awareness of MND and MS. And on top of all that the 2 Matts ran an amazing marathon with great support along the way!! Ice baths and stretches done and ready for Day Two tomorrow ❤️💙🧡❤️💙🧡xx

Message from the 2 Matts ❤️❤️💙💙🧡🧡 Well the day is nearly here, tomorrow is the start of a week that has been over 18 months in the making. Only 6 days & 157.2 miles separate Matt & myself from the Manchester marathon. One slight obstacle, that distance is to be covered on foot, in 26.2 mile intervals. We’ve had a lot of people ask, why are you putting yourself through this? And the answer to that is quite simple, for two amazing charities, that do great work for two amazing men. The amazing men being our dads. They will continue to be our motivation from the first step of marathon number 1, right through to the last step of marathon number 7. Their ongoing battles against the pain and discomfort from MS & MND, far outweigh the pain that we are about to put ourselves though this week. Do I in anyway think this week will be easy? Absolutely not. But having the motivation of not only our dads behind us, but the support of family, friends & even strangers will help get us though each and every step that we have to take this week. And for that, we love you! If you are about any of the 7 routes that we are taking, please come out and give us a shout or even join us for a little trot. We will welcome you with open arms & a couple of sugary treats! And if you do see us or our support vehicle about on the roads, give us a beep, a cheer or even the middle finger, the small things will really help. As marathon number 7 is the Manchester marathon, get yourself down there to watch us and thousands of other take to the roads of Manchester. And why not come and join us for a celebratory beer when we’re done, we’ll certainly be ready for one! Finally, thank you to every single person who has already donated to our causes & for the support you have given us up to this point. But it doesn’t stop here, please, if you can take a look at our fundraising pages. Every single penny that is donated means the world to us both. Let’s help combat the torment of two evil diseases together & give some hope and relief to not only our dads, but others who face their own battles with both MS & MND. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Matts7in7 https://jp-fightback-fund.muchloved.com/fundraising/events/590113798 @matt_pullingers_7in7 Big love & we’ll see you all on the other side ❤️❤️ P.S. a big shout out to Sam & Alex who are literally going to be with us each step of the way in sour support vehicle - we’ll need you chaps!

It’s official… number for the Manchester marathon has arrived. This will be marathon number 7 of our 7in7 challenge! Little over a week to go now until we start our challenge. We have been overwhelmed with the support we have received up until this point. Please check the link in my bio and @the_matts_7in7 to see why we are taking this on! #1WeekToGo #7in7

Has been a good training week for the first time since the injury! Over 50kms trained and felt pain free on every one. Nice to finish with a Sunday half with @the_matts_7in7 only 16 weeks left till the starting day! #OhDear #Training #7in7Marathons

A really good couple of weeks training, making good progress on distance and the cardio is starting to feel strong again. Was good to get out with @the_matts_7in7 even if today he was on the bike. Back in the gym with @jdownes07 making sure I dont turn into a stick! Made up to make it into a couple more papers this week too #7in7 #MarathonTraining #MND

It's been a while! Finally back to the pavement this week after 4 weeks of shin splints! Nothing too crazy, but has been great to get back out there. Thanks to @sunnyrehab at @kinetic_sp for your ongoing support! Could not recommend them highly enough for any of your aches and pains! Looking forward to getting back to training with @the_matts_7in7 #7in7 #Backtothegrind

Month 2 ✅ this week has been a real test of motivation but we finished with our longest training run yet @the_matts_7in7. Nice to finally have some 🌞! Spent some great time with the PE team on Wednesday running in the school community. Thank you to all those have supported so far. #7in7

Matt had a busy day today, training around Arlesey and Stotfold with the support of staff and pupils from Etonbury Academy.

Another week of training done. No running till Wednesday due to the blister. 4 more in the bag this week, none of them felt great, but KMs ticked off and ready to go again! Good to have @the_matts_7in7 back this weekend! Check out the link in the bio to find out more about what we are doing. #7in7 #Longwaytogo

On the 4th October myself and Matthew Robert will be embarking on a journey from Bedford to Manchester, completing 7 marathons in 7 consecutive days. Hopefully ending with the Manchester marathon itself (Covid pending) We are hoping to raise money for our nominated charities which are raising awareness of and supporting those families affected by Motor Neurone and Multiple Sclerosis (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/matts7in7) We have set up Instagram pages that will track our training and progress towards this, if you have Instagram check these out and give us a follow. matt_pullingers_7in7 - me the_matts_7in7 - guesty Any support will be greatly appreciated, we are also looking for volunteers to come and join us on sections of the marathons or just coming out for a jog whilst we are training.
