After 2020 was cancelled, and 2022 was full of injuries, I'm finally running the London Marathon on 23 April 2023.
Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone’s daily life. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.With clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, children are born healthier. They get the chance to go to school and grow up to become adults. Women and men get to earn a living. Whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.
After a long standing ankle injury, I had surgery in February 2019 and I (ambitiously) thought having something to train towards may help my rehab. Almost a year later, the ankle is feeling good and I'm clocking up the miles where I can. WaterAid is an incredibly worthwhile charity and I'm proud to be fundraising for them. We take access to clean water for granted, to the point where we flush out toilets with them! WaterAid are working on so many fantastic projects around the world and helping to provide funding for this is close to my heart.
