Story

Hi I'm a mum who loves to run! I also believe in supporting young people, helping them to develop and aspire in life! I ran the Grand2Grand to raise funds for Devas youth club. Devas provides a vital space within the community where young people can engage in positive activities, courses, training and workshops. I took part in  'Grand to Grand Ultra', a 170 mile self supported race through the Grand Canyon in September 2016. The course is a mix of sand dunes, forest trails, red rock climbs, rocky roads and slot canyons with a total ascent of 18,041ft (5,499m) over the 6 stages. Heat, dehydration and near fatal exhaustion ensued! I came 53rd out of 139 runners! 
Thanks for stopping by, and your support is deeply appreciated.
