## Resource

Two Essex friends just shattered endurance limits by completing a 100-mile ultramarathon in just 39 hours—without sleeping a single minute. Peter Copsey and Simon Alexander, longtime walking partners for 12 years, raced from Bamburgh Castle to Edinburgh Castle, raising $3,000 for dementia and motor neurone disease charities after personal losses. Amid physical agony and mental doubts, they pushed through, finishing ahead of schedule and inspiring everyone who heard their story.
