I'm running 50 miles in January to raise funds for Maggie's and to support people with cancer.

Over the last few years I have taken part in RED January and it’s really given me the motivation to keep myself moving at the start of the year and have done wonders for my physical and mental well-being.

This year I came across this January Challenge of running 50miles in the month raising funds for Maggies.

Maggies is an incredible charity that helps cancer patients and their families. My amazing mum-in-law who is a retired Lymphedema & Macmillan Nurse, now helps out weekly at Maggies Wirral charity and I always here incredible things.

Cancer is unfortunately something that could effect us all at some point in our lives. Whether that be fighting it ourselves or supporting a family member or friend through their own fight.

If the money I raise can go even a small way to help someone dealing with this horrendous disease then it’s been well worth the wear and tear on my knees!
