Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

You may or may not know that I first started running nearly 3 years ago when I completed the NHS's Couch to 5k programme. I somehow went from barely being able to walk fast to running very slowly, which is amazing progress for me! I am now finally entering my first race through my employer, The University of Manchester.

I aim to run the whole of the 10k course on May 22nd and raise at least £100 for the British Red Cross. I regularly support the charity's amazing efforts to help out in emergencies both in the UK and overseas (including aid for refugees, providing health and social care assistance, and responding to disasters), and would love to be able to offer even more support.

Help me!

To do this, I need your support - both financial and otherwise! If you're able to make a donation to the British Red Cross through this page, however large or small, it'll be truly appreciated. 

There are 1,000 of us running as part of the University's Purple Wave (it was made for me, right?), so if we all raise £100 each for our respective charities, we'll end up donating an incredible £100,000 to good causes! All because of a bit of running!

If you can't stretch to a donation, I'll be content with some words of encouragement as I attempt to run over 6 miles without stopping... 3 days after stepping off a long-haul flight from my honeymoon!
