These past 18 months have been the most difficult for the majority of us and I am no exception! No-one could have predicted the trials and tribulations we all faced both physically and mentally and for such a long period of time. I had my fair share of physical, mental and emotional challenges!

I lost my Nan to Covid, I didn't see my family for almost a year which I missed terribly, my stress levels were through the roof particularly because of my work, all my running activities stopped suddenly and to top it all off I ended up damaging my sciatic nerve 1 year ago which I'm still struggling with now. To be honest I didn't think I'd be doing any running for a while let alone doing the GNR this year!

Red Balloons have been a major help to me during this time and they still are. Their support and encouragement is amazing and the work they do to help improve people's mental health is vital, especially now. 

I would be grateful if you can help them like they've helped me by donating even just a small amount.  

Thank you.
