I'm fundraising towards Whizz-Kidz' vital services for young wheelchair users. Please sponsor me and help transform young people's lives. All young people face challenges, but for a young wheelchair user society can be that bit more challenging to navigate. The right wheelchair is more than just a set of wheels; it can be the key to unlocking a young person’s potential.Whizz-Kidz’ range of services give young disabled people the chance to lead a fun and active childhood, while gaining independence and growing in confidence.

I unfortunately had to defer entry from October 2022's event (on my birthday!) to April, after picking up an injury while training for a summer race. I was off running for several months, which was really difficult but was a tidy reminder of the greater challenges some people have with basic everyday mobility. Shortly before the 2023 race I picked up another injury, which has sadly ruled me out of this year's event. I plan to run in 2024 and will be working hard on a return to strength and fitness once I'm able to run again.
