Story

Hi! I'm Jess. This is my first marathon and I'm sh*t scared so I'm very grateful you're here! Every single contribution received will be a huge boost for me - much needed over the lonely miles during a London winter! Thank you so much.

I'm running to raise money for the wonderful work that Beat do as a champion, guide and friend to anyone affected by eating disorders and their loved ones. This is a cause which is very close to my own heart, having battled with binge eating disorder and bulimia for more than ten years during my late teens and twenties. Beat offers a loving community for those affected to aid their recovery and ensure they don't have to walk the path alone.

As a plus size gal I'm also running to raise awareness for the body acceptance movement. I dream of a world in which body diversity is celebrated and health and fitness are not considered to be weight-dependent! 

Thank you so much for your support! x
