Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to run the Cardiff half in memory of a very special friend who sadly passed away in a tragic accident at the beginning of the year. Elli was not only an asset to herself but an asset to everyone who was lucky enough to know her. I first met Elli when we were 15, we went through that last year of school together, ending up in college together and then in the same university. I was lucky enough to keep my friendship going with Elli over these years and I am extremely grateful I did as we made many memorable memories along the way.

The charity I am raising money for is the Welsh rugby charitable trust, as many know, Elli had a massive love for rugby and has made a massive impact within the game and to all her team mates.  When I first met Elli she had not yet discovered her love for the game, but as soon as she did she only excelled herself, where she went on to represent wales and received her first cap for the Welsh senior squad at just 17. It was clear to all that she held a very special talent and one that is truly missed. 

Elli is deeply missed and her infectious smile and personality is irreplaceable, for this I decided to run in her memory as I feel I owe it to her and our friendship and couldn't think of a better way to raise money for a charity held close to Elli, her family and friends
