Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Brighton Marathon is going to be one of the first mass participation running events of 2021 and I can think of no better charity to run for than YMCA DownsLink Group. 

As a child therapist, I know of the good work that YMCA DownsLink Group do. They offer low key counselling support to children in schools, work with homeless young people providing support and a bed, they provide youth work and family mediation services. The charity works to transform communities so that all young people can belong, contribute and thrive. Please donate if you can!

About me

Newly living in Hove. Still exploring. Love it.

Little did I know when I signed up for the Brighton Marathon two years ago that in 2021 I would be living in this amazing city. Again! It's taken 22 years, but I'm finally back. (err, also didn't know that there'd be a global pandemic etc. etc.)

Instead of being driven by my mum or anxiously waiting for an early train, I will be walking to Preston Park from home on the morning of 12th September, and walking back home from Madeira Drive several long sweaty hours afterwards! I am really looking forward to running through my city, despite having not raced anywhere since February 2020. 

This will be my fourth time running Brighton. I love it, though I've not ever had a good race. Don't care...2021 is going to be great!

No lofty goals, no expectations. Just want a happy day with lots of music, snacks and a beer at the end!
