In May 2025 I will be running with the amazing Brathay 10 in 10 marathon team!

I will be running 10 marathons in 10 days, all around lake Windermere, in aid of the Brathay Trust.

I started running about 10 years ago. I got the bug after joining Stadium Runners and taking part in the Great North Run for Great Ormond Street. I loved the race, and a couple of years later I decided to take on a marathon in Edinburgh in 2016. I only wanted to do one to experience the iconic distance, but through doing this I qualified for the London Marathon under the Good for Age category.

This really kicked off my love of marathons! I enjoy the balance of speed and endurance, and the atmosphere and sense of achievement is second to none. Running has shown me what I can achieve, and these things have been much bigger than I ever expected! I have now run the London Marathon 7 times and enter under the Championship category. I have also completed other World Major Marathons along with many local ones.

I have now run a total of 55 marathons (and counting!) including some ultra marathons too. I've completed 100 miles twice at Endure 24 and have run several double marathon weekends. The 10in10 will certainly challenge me to take my running to another level.

I also spend time volunteering with my running club. I chair the club’s committee and am a regular run leader. I enjoy giving back to the community that has given me so much.

I was made aware of the Brathay 10in10 by a couple of friends who took part in 2024. They told me about the great work that the charity does, and how amazing the 10in10 challenge was, so it didn’t take long for me to put my application in!

I'm excited to take on this challenge to support the amazing work that the Brathay Trust does to help young people. The funds that I raise will help support the positive impact the charity has and ensure that they can continue to offer essential support to young people.
