Hi everyone!

After taking a bit of a break last year I am now fully back and running. In 2018 I am planning to undertake several running challenges. This fundraising page is for every single race that I will take part in this year. I will keep it updated with any upcoming races, challenges and finish times as the year goes on.

I have entered every single run as a non-affiliated and non-charity supported runner so that every single penny I raise can go directly to Winston's Wish and also this way I do not have a set minimum amount to raise either. 

I have chosen Winston's Wish as this year's charity as they are very close to my heart. They support grieving children who have lost a parent or a sibling. The charity works with the families together and lead the way in providing specialist child bereavement support services across the UK, including in-depth therapeutic help in individual, group and residential settings.

It's going to be 20 years since I lost my dad in 2018 and no matter how much time has passed I still miss him very much. I can only hope that he'd be proud of me and I'm sure he would agree with using my running to hopefully make a positive difference in another child's life. Losing a parent is a trauma that no child should have to go through, but if it does happen than charities like Winston's Wish can make a huge difference in the emotional healing of those left behind. 

These are the races and challenges I have signed up to so far, but there will  be much more coming soon:

• Reading Half Marathon - 18th of March
• Shakespeare Marathon - Stratford upon Avon - 13th of May
• 1000 mile challenge - Run at least 1000 miles in total in 2018
