On 19th May 2024, I am running the Great Bristol Run 10k to raise funds for Baby Bank Network Bristol - the charity that I founded nearly 9 years ago.

Despite having had to "wear all the hats" for the past 9 years, this is a new one for me! I'm not a runner, preferring a loud spin class in a dark room or a walk in the countryside with a nice pub lunch planned.

But here I am! My involvement with Baby Bank continues to surprise me. I've trained in the rain, in the snow, in the dark... and hopefully I will be able to drag myself over the line on the 19th (and then go for a nice pub lunch!!)

So please sponsor me, help me get over that line and make it all worth while!

Thank you in advance!

Here is some info on Baby Bank Network, which I co-founded in 2015 when on maternity leave with my daughter, and am now the CEO of:

Baby Bank Network collects donations of pre-loved baby equipment, clothing, toys, and other essentials. Our mission is to help families experiencing poverty or crisis in Bristol by providing them with these much-needed items.

We are powered by a small team of dedicated staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that all your generous donations reach the families who need them the most.

I believe in the power of community and collective action. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these families who are facing challenging circumstances. Your support can provide them with essential resources and bring hope into their lives.

Please consider making a donation on my fundraising page to help me reach my target amount of £200. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact on someone's life. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for your unwavering support!
