A Starting Block is the person, place or moment that inspired you to become who you are today. Not every young person has the opportunity or inspiration to unlock their potential and find their Starting Block in life.

For my Starting Blocks Challenge I've chosen to go back to a place that's become a very important part of my growing up. The lake district has become a bit of an 'escape' and a place that I find I go back to no matter what is going on in life, and has made me somewhat more adventurous. At a young age I met my boyfriend and started visiting a family caravan and now over 10 years later I still get as excited to visit as I did then. So for my challenge I will be re walking the first walk I remember doing roughly 10 years ago (with the help and encouragement from him too!) on the 21st May.

I'm taking part in the Starting Blocks Challenge to help Dame Kelly Holmes Trust change what's possible for those young people who are facing challenges in their everyday lives.

The Trust works with world-class athletes who use their experience at the highest levels of sport to mentor young people. Over the next ten years the Trust aims to support 10,000 young people through programmes designed to improve their wellbeing, help them build healthy relationships and establish the confidence, self-esteem and resilience they need to achieve in education, work and life.

Please sponsor me on my challenge and join me in supporting the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.
