I have decided to take part in The Leeds Half Marathon 2023 to raise money for the Leeds United Foundation. 

I want to take on this physical and mental challenge to push myself (extremely) out of my comfort zone and try something new. Over the last few years I have been quite up and down with my fitness due to an ongoing back injury, which from time to time can impact the level of exercise and physical activity I can manage. With help from those around me, and the club's training tips, I am hoping to be able to complete the half marathon and prove that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. 

Any donations are really appreciated and will go to funding the Leeds United Foundation Programme, which does fantastic work for the community. 

How donations will be spent: 

➢ £25 could pay for a child from a disadvantaged family to attend a 1-day soccer camp in the school holidays

➢ £85 could pay for a child from a disadvantaged family attend a one-week soccer camp in the school holidays

➢ £100 could pay for 30 children from disadvantaged backgrounds to take part in 3 x 2-hour Premier League Kicks sessions

➢ £150 could enable a talented female footballer to progress onto an Elite Talent Programme to further develop as a player

➢ £300 could enable us to deliver 10 assemblies in 10 schools to support vital needs such as mental health support or anti-discrimination education
