Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for supporting me as I embark on this crazy journey of running my first ever marathon with my mum (Paula) and friend (Kathryn) in April 2022. Once a mere idea suggested over coffee- this has soon become our reality (however I’m not so sure the reality of winter training, harsh weather and dark winter mornings has yet sunk in)…

As many will know I have struggled with my mental health for some time, which is part of the reason why I have decided to not only run this for myself but also to raise money for Mind- to hopefully help others in similar situations and shed light that things do and can get better. 

I understand this isn’t going to be easy (and there’s likely to be lots of blood, sweat and tears) but what doesn’t challenge you doesn’t change you. I also may not always feel positive but that doesn’t mean I won’t stop trying as this is a great charity and any donations/ support would mean the absolute world, not only to me, but also to others helped too. In return, I aim to give it my best and not only make others proud but also myself proud and the journey I have been on over the years- and who knows maybe I will enjoy it so much it makes me want to do another?? However, for now we just need to focus on putting one foot in front of the other…
