On 12 April 2025 I will be competing in one of the UTMB world series qualifier, the Istria 100 by UTMB, a world-renowned ultra-trail race in Croatia that attracts over 2,500 runners from across the globe. I will be competing in the 100k category distance, which will undoubtedly test my limits through running through rugged terrain, medieval towns, deep forests, and breathtaking coastal trails.

I am taking on this personal challenge to raise awareness and funds for Youthful Minds, a lovely local mental health charity dedicated to supporting the mental wellbeing of young people in Jersey.

Youthful Minds is a voluntary participation group in which the young people aim to educate others about Mental Health, tackle and reduce stigma surrounding Mental Health and Mental illness and aims to improve services for Children and Young People in Jersey through sharing the voice of their lived experience. The group meet on a weekly basis and are actively involved in raising awareness and improving services outside of their weekly meetings too. Youthful Minds promotes self-confidence and self-esteem and allows young people to make a meaningful difference within an area they are passionate about.
