Hello all! I am running my first ultra (50K) in June and thought it would be great to raise some money for an amazing charity in the process! 

I attended Bristol Boxing Gym (who support the charity Empire Fighting Chance - based in the same gym) for a number of years and it was a great place to be around. They have a supportive community and a wealth of knowledge which helped grow my confidence in my early 20's. 

A bit more about Empire Fighting Chance...
