I ADORE running. I discovered my passion when I moved to London in 2018. I used it as an outlet for my active & sometimes very wild mind. Running has and is always there for me, through stress, homesickness, long-distance relationships, celebrations, worries, loneliness, birthdays, and LIFE in general. It has always been there, and I ALWAYS find peace in running and it makes me so, so, very happy.

At the end of 2021, I encouraged a friend who was struggling mentally to run the Edinburgh half with me in May 2022, and I couldn't have been prouder to see her among many others complete this. I have seen firsthand the positive effects that getting up and moving has on your mind.

It has been a HUGE DREAM to run the London Marathon in a city I have grown to LOVE. However, every year I apply and never manage to get myself a place. In October 2022, I received the disappointing news that I had once again not got a place in the London Marathon, so I took matters into my own hands and decided that 2023 would be the year I ran a marathon and booked myself into the Barcelona Marathon on the19^th March. Little did I know that H&M and the BRC would be able to support me in making my London Marathon dream come true.

I am so thrilled to be running the London Marathon this April and so thankful that H&M and the BRC have helped to make this dream of mine come true! To make this dream come true, I must raise £1,000 for the BRC. An INCREDIBLE charity that helps millions of people in the UK and around the world get the support they need if crisis strikes.

Watch this space, turns out in 2023 I will be running not one, but TWO marathons in the space of 35 days.

Any donation big or small will go a long way and will be GREATLY appreciated!

I have joined #TeamRedCross to ensure that they can help anyone, anywhere in the UK and around the world, get the support they need if crisis strikes.
