Story

‼️‼️‼️‼️ TWO YEARS LATER ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I entered the Edinburgh half marathon two years ago to challenge myself whilst still in my 30's and to raise awareness for the terrible illness that is Alzheimer's. This has had a massive impact on my family and also for special friends of mine.

I am running to raise money for the ones we have not lost once, but we have to go through the pain of losing them twice ❤️❤️

My little legs were born to dance, running not so much!

Training has had some ups and more downs....injuries and some covid challenges on the way and now also being really old and in my 40's 😝😝😝

Hoping to dance my way to the finish line on the 29th May.

And as I’ve always been told ‘Never give up!' 💫
