Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2020, at age 48, I contracted an as yet unknown neurological condition which cost me most of the mobility in my legs and confined me, for the most part, to a wheelchair.

I'm participating in various wheelchair distance events in 2022 and beyond, including the Sheffield and Leeds half marathons, the Middlesbrough 10k and (hopefully) the Great North Run. I'm not an athlete, I don't have a fancy racing wheelchair and I'm not the member of any racing club. I'm just an amateur, training on my own.

I'm raising money for nia, a women-led, women-only, secular, rights-based registered charity which has been delivering services to women, girls and children who have been subjected to sexual and domestic violence and abuse, including prostitution, since 1975.
