Story

This May I will be taking part in Springboards 'Race to Nicaragua' where various teams will Run, Walk or Cycle Virtually to Nicaragua which is about 5300 Miles.

I'm part of the 'Recruitment Consultancy' team who will be covering around 6 miles a day each to get to that 5,300 miles.

Now for those who know me well, will know I run quite a bit and may feel that this is a little easy for me, so why would you want to sponsor me for doing what I would normally do.

So.............what started out to be 6 miles a day with 7 Half Marathon in 7days included - turned into why not run a HM every day - so that's the new challenge as I go in to completely unknown territory and doubling the most distance I have ever ran in one month.

Please be generous in supporting, encouraging and motivating me by giving generously towards this great cause.

The cause is Springboard who help people to overcome barriers to employment, build confidence and improve on or gain new skills through training, mentoring, CV workshops and interview support, helping people to retain jobs and start careers in hospitality and tourism futureproofing the talent pipeline as these industries heal and rebuild.
