In the warm summer of 2024 it seemed like a good idea to enter the Hackney half marathon - bearing in mind that 10K has been the longest run I have ever covered. Now we are in the depths of winter, I’m not so sure (temperature outside is minus 4 at the time of writing). So, to keep my motivation levels high, I am looking for sponsorship support to make sure I pound those pavements in the rain, wind, ice.

My chosen charity is Queerwell - a registered national community led mental health charity for adults (18+) identifying as LGBTQ+. Queerwell is creating space for the LGBTQ+ community to easily access innovative forms of therapeutic and wellness support which is free or affordable. More details can be found at www.queerwell.co.uk.

I am thanking you sincerely in advance.
