Some say I talk too much, but I realise this is an advantage not everyone has. I’ve been fortunate to know there is always someone to listen to me and to help me through any highs or lows (whether they want to or not). Not everyone has that, but there are amazing organisations like Samaritans who are there to help. To help Break the Silence, and listen. 

I had the best intentions for my 1st marathon, to break my habits of ‘winging’ it and follow a training plan….. well life gets in the way (self inflicted!) and the training has taken a back seat. But it’s not stopping me from following through on my commitment and to support a great cause I feel strongly about. I never sign up for these events to break a record, but instead to challenge my body and help get ££/$$ out of people’s pockets and into charities hands. 

So please please donate to this worthy cause to make this untrained challenge worth it! I know it will massively help me get up each day and log the km/miles and you can know you’re helping someone break their silence and saving their life. 

And don’t forget to listen (and talk) yourself- you never know what someone beside you is going through, and human connection goes a long way.
